In another thread @Ian Sutton recommended tracking each others smart phones when traveling with your partner. I had never bothered to look into this feature, but I have it set up now and it is great. On the iPhone it is the Find My Phone app which comes with the phone. Steve and I are set up as Family Sharing and it was pretty quick to set it so I can see where he is. It came in handy today when I was waiting for him in Dorchester after getting my hair cut, and he went for a walk. I turned on the app and it showed me that he was about 20 feet away, walking towards me.
For our upcoming trip to Israel, I thought I would bring my Garmin GPS like I usually do - but there are no maps for Israel! The guy who manages one of the places we are renting recommended WAZE so I installed it and used it today when we were driving to Dorchester. I like it! Clear maps, good voice directions, seems to have recent roadworks info (my Garmin has all that too). I wanted to practice using it before we are on the Israel roads.
Marian recommended GETT for taxis in Israel so I installed that. We don't have Uber in the hinterland where I live, so I have no experience of these apps. We'll see ...
Steve has a Hebrew language app on his phone and I got an Israel Tourist board app.
When we travel in Italy we always use Dana Facaros Italian Food Decoder - which is great.
What apps do you use when traveling?
