Roaming costs in the EU are thankfully to be scrapped in 2017, but in the meantime using Google Maps when you’re abroad can cost you a fortune. Maps.me (maps.me) offers a much smarter way to find your way around a foreign country because it lets you browse complete area maps offline, without sacrificing detail. The free Android and iOS app covers every country in the world, “from the largest city to the smallest village”, so all you need to do is download the relevant map while you have an internet connection. Maps.me features millions of points of interest, including restaurants, petrol stations and cash machines, and provides directions from wherever you are to anywhere on the map. Cleverly, it compresses map data to keep file sizes small and lets you share a pin of your current location with friends via SMS and email.
