How to Use Maps.Me

Maps.Me allows you to pre-download a map of a city, or specific place you ask it too, whilst connected to WIFI. Once you have downloaded this map, you can access it anywhere at anytime, without internet connection. You are then able to research a specific transport route and look up the nearest restaurants etc. You can do this all without the internet, as the data is stored within each map.

For someone who is travelling to multiple countries, this is like music to their ears. You do not understand how many situations we have been stuck in during our travels simply because we couldn’t connect to the WIFI. We did begin to invest in local SIM cards if we planned to stay for a few weeks or more. But for those short city breaks, or week long trips, this is a our go-to app. To be quite honest, even with the local SIM’s, we tend to stick to Maps.Me. In many countries, especially round Asia, the connectivity and signal is pretty rubbish so this app is blooming handy.

Another cool thing about the app is that you are able to ‘Pinpoint’ places you have been too. I love this tool as A) you can easily return to a place you have already been to and B) You can use this tool as a form of documenting every place you have been to around the world!

Maps.Me has 100% saved us throughout our travels and we would probably be lost without it, literally.

I came across Snapseed whilst in the Philippines and fell in love with the App. There are so many things you can do with your photographs with endless amounts of features. The HDR setting is my favourite, as it adds both colour and depth to your images.

You can erase parts of a photo that you don’t want, such as a lamp post popping out of your head, or a dustbin in the background. You can enhance the colours of specific things, such as the sea, sky or beach colours.

There are many filters available within the app too for anyone who isn’t quite sure how to edit their photos, lending you a small hand. I personally am not a fan of filters in general however.

I LOVE using this app when I am unable to get my hands on my laptop. It is definitely a fantastic substitute for Lightrooom and the best part is, it is completely FREE.

The new upgrade in Snapseed also means you can edit RAW files – an absolute dream for Photographers!!

This app is suitable for Android and iOS.
