About this app

MyGuide is a guide book and location enabled map for Greenwich in London, England! The video link on this listing shows you how it works.

With a rich history and strong maritime tradition, Greenwich is a short and pleasant boat ride away from Central London and has been a great day out for Londoners and its visitors for hundreds of years. It has been recognised globally by UNESCO as one of its world heritage sites.

MyGuide (Greenwich) contains a location enabled map that will show you where you are in relation to all the places of interest in Greenwich and for each of those places provides some historical and background information, both in writing and as an audio commentary.

Before you visit Greenwich, use its Guide Book mode to review the sights and mark those you are interested in as favourites. You can also do a full search on all the descriptions, so if you wanted to visit places related to Henry VIII you can find these easily.

When you are in Greenwich, unlike a conventional guide book, MyGuide not only helps you find the places you want to visit, it will also tell you when you are near somewhere interesting or even take you on you own private guided tour. Choose a walk or tour based on the time you have available and what you want to see and it will guide you to each destination where you can listen to a commentary while you look around. All at the pace you want.

Even if you are a Londoner or resident of Greenwich, you are sure to find out something new that you did not already know so it's a great way to discover your area.

To avoid data roaming charges and reliance on an internet connection the content is all downloaded with the app.

Visit the web page for more information and also see a browser based version of the map and contents that you can print out... although so much easier to install the app!
