I admit I was one of those people who didn’t update my iOS for ages simply due to my fear of the bad juju of the Maps app. I rely on the Maps app almost to a fault. I love reading maps, but dear Maps app, please tell me whether I’m walking north or south. And show me where the closest train station in. And while you’re at it, can you show me where a nearby grocery store is?

After I felt confident that the updated Maps app wouldn’t cause me to walk aimlessly in circles, I updated my iOS. During this time, I was also moving back from New York to Chicago and planning a trip to London and Paris. I had to go deeper than Maps. If you’re ever planning a New York, Chicago, London and Paris extravaganza, here are some apps to consider (please note that almost all of these are available for both iPhone and Android):
New York:
Chicago:
- Next Transit
- Train and Bus Tracker via the Chicago Transit Authority
London:
Paris:
Everywhere:
All these apps are happily nestled into a “Transit” folder on my iPhone…right next to my Maps app. Now please remember to look up when you begin walking. That’s sort of gotten me in trouble a few times.
