If you are considering traveling to Venice this year then be sure to keep Venice Street Map. handy on your iPhone and iPad as it provides just about everything you could need to easily find your way around and prevent you from getting lost during your visit.

This is a very well-developed offline map app that you would be wise to download if you are visiting Venice as it provides a suitable alternative to Apple Maps and Google Maps that you can use without needing to be connected to 3G or a Wi-Fi network.

GPS Integration

What we have here is a simple yet incredibly effective addition to the Travel category of the App Store that has been designed to provide you with an effective way of finding your way around the beautiful city of Venice.

With this app you can use your iOS device’s integrated GPS to see your current location displayed on the map but this is optional because all of the data is stored locally on your device and there is no need for an Internet connection.
