Editor review of Schmap European Capitals
Schmap is actually a set of highly interactive maps with dynamically integrated travel guide information. We are sure that once you use this software, you'll never turn back to old-fashioned paper maps. Schmap maps are intuitive, zoomable, customizable and ready to provide information (description as well as photos) about any selected location by a single click.
It is very handy that a map look can be customized to your liking. Each map has several ‘layers’ (categories of objects displayed on it) that can be enabled or disabled depending on what the user needs to see. So you simply check the boxes to decide what objects the map should display - hotels, restaurants, historic building or specific shops, etc.
Schmap also provides a very convenient search, useful background reading, reviews for hotels, restaurants and other places of interest, and more. All this, together with the fact that all guides are free for download, makes Schmap a perfect tool for trip planning or traveling.
This particular package contains guides for 15 European capitals. More European and US cities guides are available for download. All Schmap guides can be browsed online. However, if you want to use them offline (e.g. when traveling with a laptop) you should download them - of course, if you don’t mind the download size.
