Great app!
but how can the language be changed?
and for a future option, to select a city of interest from a more accessible menu and change it to be the main location instead of using gps for detection.

I've had a look at most of the free city guides and they are generally pretty average, large 200meg downloads, bad maps and lots of bloat. However i am sure there are some gems out there. However since you are not going to have data some of these guides, (pocket , mtravel etc could be usefull)
As a previous poster mentioned trip advisor is the king of the hill for places to visit etc. An up and comer is stay.com which lets you create a customised guide and download it to your phone including an offline map.
If you decide to get a country specific sim for data vi highly recomend Öffi - Public Transport Buddy for public transport around europe
and kayak or tripit to manage your iteniery
Haha - this thread got bumped from several months ago, I've already done my trip (it was amazing) and ended up being very surprised by the availability of free wifi. Didn't end up needing any apps really, although there was one that had the marine forecast for the Mediterranean which was helpful since we were sailing.

Hello everyone!
As for independent traveling, a good guide may be of a great use, for example such as Tour Guide to Thailand. Here you can find general info about the country, some useful advices and comments as well as rather big objects’ list (more than 500 items) including airports, piers, bus terminals and attractions. Description of any object contains short article about it, address as well as Google map coordinates, business hours, prices, photos, and distance from the point you are at the moment.
However, the most useful option of Tour Guide is an opportunity to choose a route around the country that contains information about the visited objects, prices, distances and travel time as well as ways of getting to some place. So you can plan the route, the budget and even duration of transfers. Moreover you can make up your own route combining info from several already existing routes. Families with children can also find the route that contains best places for children.
There are free and paid versions of the mobile application Tour Guide to Thailand. Free Tour Guide to Thailand contains about 200 objects and the only route, while paid version has complete information about objects and routes. As the first version of the app is being presented all comments and reviews would be of great help and could improve the work of the application. Thank you in advance for your help
