Apps for Transit - Mike Grossman Consulting - Newsletter, July 2019

Published: Thu, 07/25/19

Hello and welcome back to the newsletter. This month's theme is transportation and apps that help you navigate when you're in the city (walking, biking, public transit), in the wilderness or anywhere in between.

The Best Transit App

"Citymapper makes navigating the pesky T a little more enjoyable,” The Boston Globe.

"Citymapper is, quite simply, the best travel app" - New York Times.

If you want to find the fastest way of getting somewhere using the bus, subway, train, walking, Uber (or boat!) and any combination of those options, then Citymapper is for you. Also, the app works in several US cities (including Boston, NYC) and many cities around the world. Available for iPhone and Android (Editor's Choice Award)

Directions for Pedestrians

Walc is a navigation app designed for pedestrians, built on the idea that someone walking could use different directions than someone in a car. Walking directions are not the same as driving directions, which usually gives directions to go east, west, north or south.

Walc gives you directions using nearby landmarks and visual cues so you always know where you are. Look at the screen or by using “pocket-mode” you can listen to the directions. Available for iPhone.

Off The Grid Maps

Plan the perfect route for your hike or bike ride using maps designed specifically for the outdoors that you can use when you're offline. Available for iPhone and Android. (Editor's Choice Award.)

Track And Share Your Bike Ride

This app doesn't show you how to get somewhere, but instead, it tracks where you've been. While the app tracks your bike ride, it also provides real-time information including distance, calorie burn, and elevation. (Available for iPhone and Android)
