Mobile tips for your European vacation
In the summer, most people travel, and when they can, they try to spend their holidays away from home, in some inspiring or just relaxing environment.
Some of the travel dictionary, navigation device and guidebook will always stay at home or no longer be listed. Fans of spontaneous programs have less trouble with this, as they invent themselves anywhere, but they also need basic information.
If you like spontaneity, you can browse this smartphone and even choose this year’s destination based on the low prices of low-cost flights. In the age of e-tickets, we don’t have to bother with paper-based plane tickets, we can easily retrieve the booking and flight number from our emails. When looking for accommodation, think about airbnb application, here you can browse among the apartments - for short-term rent - which is a cost-effective solution for travelers who prefer downtown champagne. For those who like traditional travel a Booking.com download the smartphone-optimized app of the website that offers accommodation in each category based on location or based on individually specified criteria.
Without travel insurance, currency exchange information and a map, no one should go on a trip abroad. From the T-Mobile network, the travel insurance can be requested by SMS; while waiting at the airport or in the car, at the border crossing or even after (within two hours of crossing the border) we can apply for insurance.
A number of useful applications await us during the holidays in the Android Market or the iStore. Keep track of your finances, you can easily check current exchange rates for example one exchange rate application. Let's find out a local weather, get ready for a mountain hike with the right outfit, or watch the winds ahead if you feel like kayaking, for example. Language difficulties are aided by Google translator or any dictionary app where we can look up "please have a nice cup of coffee", "where is the beach?" and the “spell your phone number please” classics.
When all this is ready, there is nothing left: you can start exploring the city or go beaching. We can also hit the beach with standard map applications hidden in certain smartphones, but for sightseeing it is better to take out our personal guide, the Hungarian-developed, popular PocketGuide application (for T-Mobile users of its T-Mobile Edition version). The app identifies your location based on our GPS position and guides you through the city with voice navigation. From the experiences recorded along the way, the app creates a one-click video that we can share with our friends.
