Around the world with a smartphone
Google Maps, free GPS and WiFi have changed budget travelling forever, but it doesn't mean you have to depend on the Internet
THE best travel tip, if you don't know it already, is this: GPS, the Global Positioning System that can tell you where you are through the Google Maps app on a smartphone, does not require a data connection.
It is free. Funded by the US government, sure, but free for the rest of us.
This means you will never willingly get lost again in a foreign city. You will always know how to get to where you want to go. But you need to make sure you have downloaded a map of the area you are planning to travel to, before you set off.
