I do not write the classic applications such as facebook, instagram, youtube, watsapp and twitter. everybody already knows. For others;

– You can leave pins on the regions you are going or will go to and write short descriptions if you want.

– Its map is so comprehensive that it can find hiking trails in some natural parks. You can even see it.

2- Google Maps
First of all, maps. Even though I use me, sometimes google gives more detailed results when searching for cafes, restaurants or hostels.. That’s why I say download it.. Offline usage is somewhat limited. Namely; For example, you searched for a town while you had internet and you found it.. Then, by clicking download from the options, you download that region to the phone, and even if you do not have internet, you can see yourself on the map and go to the address.. Complete country map cannot be downloaded as in maps.me.
