Venice! by GPS

If there was only one thing you could take with you when you depart from a known location, to an unknown location, it's offline GPS!  I can't tell you how many people are wandering around, looking at paper maps, as we whiz on by with our phone towards our location.   We can find almost everything even with slightly outdated POIs (points of interest).  Turn by turn navigation by foot is the ultimate in finding ones' way and discovering new locations.

There are so many small streets to nowhere, or dead ends that it's like a maze of streets so intertwined that if you get off the beaten track you could be looking at the waters edge.













What does it take?
-android smart phone with an internal gps radio (most have them)
-Sygic gps navigation software downloaded and installed
-Download the maps before you leave for the countries you are to visit.

Venice is a busy place, but fun to see for a day or two.  So many people make walking around a chore, but the scenery is wonderful.

We are leaving Venice today for Padova( a small town 25 minutes by train towards Parrano.
