For us, traveling is one of the best things we can do in life, and we believe that it is also for most of our readers. Here we would like to share five apps that can help you with your travel plans and routes. You may even know some of these five, but we doubt that you know them all. If you do, our congratulations! If you need any help with your trip to Brazil, it will be our pleasure to assist you.
1) Rome2Rio
It takes the guesswork out of planning your transportation from city to city. Plug in your origin and destination, and it lays out the choices-plane, train, bus, and car-along with the approximate time each route will take. Use it when traveling around Europe or when weighing Amtrak versus a flight from, say, Boston to New York. The app factors in the total time it will take door-to-door using each type of transit.
This currency converter app works just like the rest of them. Except it works offline! Just for this simple feature, it is totally worth switching out your currency converter with this one. It is the simplest, most
beautiful currency converter you’ll ever find. It supports over 150 different currencies from all around the world, ranging from the US Dollar to Brazilian Real! It even supports BitCoin, LiteCoin and Dogecoin! If you’re travelling, this really is a great app to use.
There are several translation tools on the market, but Google Translate’s features are still the best among free apps. You can write or even speak words and phrases that the app then translates into more than 100 languages. It even works off-line (so you don’t rack up data charges) for more than 52 languages. Bonus: you can take photos with your phone’s camera to translate signs and menu options (although this works best with simple typefaces – it struggles with ornate script).
Before you next head overseas, download this app authorized by the U.S. government. It can get you through customs faster on your return. You plug in basic personal information and your passport data, along with a selfie, ahead of time. When you arrive back in the U.S. at one of the 21 participating airports (they include most of the major hubs), the app asks a few questions about your trip, it then lets you jump into a dedicated Mobile Passport line.
5) HERE We Go
With this app you can download maps of the cities you’re planning to visit and then use the off-line mode to view them. Great offline map, especially for outside of US. And closer to home, the app’s offline version of the New York City subway map makes it easy to double-check your route even when you’re underground. Offline maps are available for 1300 cities across 110 countries. They take a while to download, so make sure you allow time to get them set up before you take off.
