Getting from A to B has gotten a lot easier in recent years. Instead of simply looking at a map (which I have never been good at) or following road signs, we now have something amazing called ‘GPS’. This stands for Global Positioning System, helping to direct us to wherever it is we are going, and give us a good idea of how long it’ll take us to get there. We even have GPS features built into our mobile phones, which means we can download a variety of great apps designed to get us to where we need to be. Read on for the coolest GPS apps to get you from A to B:
Google Maps
Google Maps is without question the most widely used GPS app available today. It’s easily available, and has had more than 1 million downloads to date. It can tell you points of interest on your travels, so that you can enjoy your trip to the full. You can also choose a variety of views for the map, so it’s easy for you to read. Real time traffic information will help you to find the fastest route, plus, this app is free! Some people even use it for walking and cycling, and you can find routes for more than 15,000 cities and towns over 220 countries.

This GPS app has a wide array of features, helping you to find your way to wherever you’re going effectively and quickly. There’s a compass feature, as well as a camera and temperature data.
