GPSMyCity: Introduction and Giveaway

GPSMyCity: Introduction and Giveaway

Have you ever enjoyed a travel article and wished that you could use it as a guide when travelling? Or read about a great place before your trip and planned to go there? But then, when you were actually travelling, you didn’t have internet to access the article, or you had a copy of the article but didn’t know how to find the place?

This is where GPSmyCITY comes in. GPSmyCity is a popular travel app that offers self-guided walking tours and travel articles for various cities around the world. The app is designed to help travelers explore cities at their own pace and discover points of interest, landmarks, historical sites, and cultural attractions. It is available on iOS and Android, and features self-guided city walks and travel articles for 750+ cities worldwide.

Once installed on your GPS-enabled mobile phone or tablet, the apps will turn your mobile device into a tour guide. There are over 6000 city walks and travel articles available – in over 750 cities across the world. Each city walk or travel article comes with a travel route shown on an offline map, which guides you to famous attractions, monuments, restaurants and interesting sights, as well as hidden gems – just like a personal local guide.

Once the app is downloaded to your phone, you won’t need internet to use the article as a guide. It will show you right where you are on the map and guide you to each location! You can upload any travel article from GPSmyCity free of charge, to read at your convenience without wi-fi. If you want it to be a GPS-guided article, all you have to do is pay a small fee to upgrade and enable access to offline maps. As easy as that.

Here are some key features and aspects of the GPSmyCity app:

1. Self-Guided Walking Tours: GPSmyCity provides a collection of self-guided walking tours for different cities. These tours are designed to lead you through the city's most interesting neighborhoods, providing detailed information about each stop along the way.
2. Offline Use: One of the notable features of the app is the ability to use it offline. Once you download a walking tour, you can access the map and content without needing an active internet connection. This is especially useful for travelers who want to save on data usage while exploring a new city.
3. Detailed Points of Interest: Each walking tour includes information about specific points of interest, such as historical sites, museums, parks, restaurants, and more. You can read descriptions, view photos, and get directions to each location.
4. Customizable Tours: You can customize your walking tours by adding or removing stops based on your interests and available time. This flexibility allows you to tailor your exploration to your preferences.
5. Travel Articles: In addition to walking tours, GPSmyCity offers a wide range of travel articles written by local experts and experienced travelers. These articles provide valuable insights, tips, and recommendations for each city.
6. Available Cities: GPSmyCity covers numerous cities worldwide, making it a valuable resource for travelers planning trips to various destinations.

I’m pleased to announce that some of my posts have been turned into apps. You can download these apps for free, or pay for an upgrade and the app will be automatically linked to an offline map and the GPS navigator.

There are two ways to access article apps on your device. You can either click on the link at the end of a blog post that has been turned into an app (if you haven’t already downloaded the free GPSMyCity app you will be prompted to do so). Or, once you have the GPSMyCity app, you can browse by city to see what articles are available. You can then download the article for free or upgrade for offline use and GPS navigation.

I am giving away a free upgrade on the following article apps till 5 June so that you can see how it works:
