The Travel Bunny’s mission has always been to help you easily plan your budget travel adventures. So far, I did my best to write detailed travelogues on the travel blog, and in-depth free travel guides.
However, with the help of GPSmyCity, I’m taking things to the next level.
I am transforming my blog posts and pages into self-guided walking tours.
How does GPSmyCity work?
GPSmyCity is a travel article app, turning detailed articles from travel bloggers like myself into self-guided walking tours which can easily be followed by readers like you. This gives everyone the chance to recreate the journey that inspired them to travel in the first place.
Sure, it’s also easy to just bookmark the article. However, as a frequent traveler, I’ve learned the hard way that you can’t always get what you want. And by that, I mean internet connection. Even if you have lots of mobile data available, you won’t always get a signal or proper speed. This can feel frustrating and can be time-consuming, two things you don’t really need while on vacation, do you?
That’s where offline travel apps like GPSmyCity come in handy. Not only are they available wherever and whenever you need them, but they also save your phone’s battery life for the day. You may even get to leave the power bank at home the next time you’re packing your bag!
After downloading and installing GPSmyCity, this offline travel app allows you to browse through thousands of blog articles covering destinations from all over the world. These travel articles from GPSmyCity are available for free upload, to have them handy whenever you’re stranded without internet in a new city.
What are GPS-guided articles?
GPSmyCity doesn’t only allow you to save great travel articles about where you’re planning to go. It can also put on a detailed tour map all the places mentioned by the blogger in the article you loved or (at least) found useful to your journey. So, when you visit, you get instructions on how to get there, and also all the information the travel blogger added about that place.
While there is a small fee to upgrade (about $2/GPS-guided article or $20/annual subscription), you can choose from over 6500 self-guided walking tours every time you’re planning a trip.
Try GPSmyCity and enjoy the freedom to discover the city on your own, through a self-guided walking tour. However, with each GPS-guided article you use, you’ll feel like the travel blogger who wrote it is your own personal guide, showing you around the city.
