General Information on Travel App
Are there any roaming charges associated with using my Travel App?
There are no roaming charges associated with using the travel app. When you have access to a Wi-Fi connection (at your hotel, a cafe or anywhere else that offers a free wireless connection), you can sync any pending updates. This means you will be able to display your updates from your trip journal and share them with other travelers at any time.
Where does the Travel App get all its travel information?
The Travel App provides users with the highest quality, most exhaustive content via its partner Falk CIS, a major European travel guide content publisher. Falk publishes Marco Polo travel guides and Falk Maps and is also a publisher for Mairdumont Media, the largest German publishing group.
Does GPS work without an internet connection?
Yes! Once the initial maps are downloaded, all GPS map functions work properly without an internet connection. You can use all maps (as well as all other features) in the app with no access to Wi-Fi needed and no fear of roaming charges.
Can the map locate me and plan my route?
The map geo-localizes you and will plan the simplest route to and from each location. Detailed directions by foot or by subway are available for each route. All of this is done offline, free of charge.
