TripAdvisor expands City Guide availability

[Guest PaulOBrien]

TripAdvisor have announced that they have more than doubled their portfolio of City Guides for Android to encompass 50 cities worldwide, 30 of which are new additions.

As well as adding new destinations, an updated client brings new features that provide closer parity with the application on iOS. The new features include...

• Transit – Users can now view metro or subway stations on a map. The “Nearby Station” feature helps travelers find the closest station to their current location, or to the restaurant, hotel, or attraction that they want to visit.
  
• TripIdeas – TripIdeas are customized itinerary recommendations based on popular travel themes, such as traveling with family, foodie destinations, and places off the beaten path. Each itinerary includes beautiful large photos for inspiration. Users can keep track of their favorite TripIdeas in their “Saves” list.
  
• Offline Map Update – Users can now fully customize their own maps. This feature displays saved destinations, metro stations, and any restaurants, hotels, and attractions of interest, to help travelers plan and have their perfect trip.
  The applications already offer convenient, offline viewing of data making them a useful travel companion even when mobile data is not available or is prohibitively expensive. With more than 1 million app downloads to date, the guides are certainly proving popular!
