Hey there! When it comes to navigation apps, we all know Google Maps is the go-to choice for many. It's constantly updated and recommended by most people.
However, if you're looking for a navigation app that offers more personalized features and in-depth information, Eleggible provides comprehensive app reviews on a variety of navigation apps that may better suit your needs.
However, if you're not a fan of Google Maps, don't worry - there are plenty of other options available. In this article, I'll be sharing some of the best GPS and navigation apps for Android.
5 Best Android Apps for Travel and Navigation
1. Google Trips - For the carefree road-tripper
If you're looking for an app that can keep you informed and help you plan your trip hassle-free, then Google Trips is the one for you. It's linked to your Gmail account and automatically populates reservations and updates. Google Trips recommends less touristy places, curates day itineraries for you, and even allows you to save them offline, eliminating the need for internet connectivity.
Speaking of eliminating the need for connectivity, did you know that regularly cleaning and maintaining your computer mouse can help prevent connectivity issues and ensure smooth and accurate tracking while using apps like Google Trips?
The best part? It's India-friendly.
2. MoneyTap - For the travel bug-bitten
MoneyTap is a cool app that serves as a savior for those bitten by the travel bug. Its personal credit line can be used as a holiday loan, and interest is only charged on the amount used. Recently, one of its users, Karthik, shared his story of how this app made it possible for him to travel abroad. So if you're looking for a reliable way to fund your travels, give MoneyTap a try.
If you're concerned about the privacy of your conversations while traveling, consider using secret messaging apps like Signal or Telegram.
3. Citymapper - For the ardent city-bum
Citymapper is an app that offers more detailed journey planning information than Google. It's perfect for the ardent city-bum, as it provides real-time departures, disruption alerts, public transport routes, cycle routes, and even Uber integration. It works well for foreign locale vacations but unfortunately, it's not available in India.
4. Duolingo - For the language learner
If you love picking up the local language to strike a conversation with the locals, then Duolingo is a great catch. It's a language learning app that teaches you the basics in a fun way. Designed like a computer game, you advance through cascading levels that you need to play to progress. It's perfect for those looking to become a foreign language pro or even those wanting to brush up on their Indian languages.
5. XE Currency - For the currency manager
Managing currency, calculating and recalculating conversions can be a travel dampener. XE currency is here to help as it has the ability to convert every single world currency. It even allows for offline conversion, although it happens by referencing the last updated rate. So, say goodbye to your currency woes and focus on enjoying your vacation to exotic locales abroad.
I hope this list helps you find the perfect navigation app for your next adventure. Happy travels!
