Driver Using Smartphone With Car Navigation App Driving In City

Sometimes we’re purposely traveling without cellular service. Sometimes the network is having problems and we can’t get online right now. Either way, it’s a great idea for the Well Traveled Nerd to have the right apps installed and ready to go.

Navigation

Google Maps

Download it on Android or iOS. Offline instructions for Android and iOS.

Google Maps can download frequently used maps for offline use to navigate without a connection. When I’m out of the country, this is my go to navigation app.

Maps.me

Download it on Android or iOS. Offline instructions for Android and iOS.

Maps.me is a good backup I always keep just in case something is wrong with Google Maps.

Translation

Google Translate

Download it on Android or iOS. Offline instructions for Android and iOS.

If I can’t speak the language, Google Translate is usually open when I’m in another country. Not only will it allow you to have a verbal conversation with someone in different languages, it’ll translate images (such as menus or signs) on the fly and help you get around safely.
