Hi Traci,
It would help if you could tell us what city/town you're going to visit,
that way if there's a specialty app for that city/town, someone from that
city/town could tell you if it exists.
For example, if you were coming to Toronto, I would tell you that you could
visit the Toronto website, see what's in Toronto that would be worth seeing,
and you could take public transit to each location, as all tourist
destinations in Toronto are accessible by public transit.
In any case, if you're to rely solely on the GPS apps on your iPhone, you'll
kill your battery, and not have a way to get back. This way, you'll know
your destination, and have a more reliable way of finding out about your
destination.

Subject: Exploring a future destination
Hi all,
We are going on vacation next Month to a town that is suppose to be very
walkable. I want to enter the address of the hotel & plan some future walks
to shops, restaurants, dog friendly area etc. At this point on my iPhone, I
have no special GPS apps. I have maps, google maps, map quest, and a
handful of public transit apps. It is a small town we are going to, so
public transit won't apply.
:) What do you suggest? I have of course heard of blind square & Ariadne
gps, would you recommend one of those? Something else?
I thought I'd look at around me and walk score, but I'm not sure these apps
will do what I want.
I'd love to use the app and pretend I'm on Front street walking in the town.
If you know what I mean.
Thanks,
Traci
