I needed help so I downloaded this for .99cents and a free one. They’re maps alright. I like maps but this and the other one didn’t fill in “that” gap. “That” gap is when you’re where you need to to be but still don’t know what to do. -which of the 3 entrances do I go into? Which platform do I go to? Do I take the M or the RER? -your tickets won’t work for both. Oh! And which train do I get on as several varieties stop at your platform every three minutes all the while your family are disintegrating into bla bla bla.
We just returned home from 4 days in Paris, I don’t speak French and it was hectic. Wow. Wasn’t it ever hectic and these maps provided no more help that a printed map.
At the metro station of St Michele by Notre Dame, I launched Apple maps. As if the hand of Steve Jobs himself touched my right shoulder and whispered, “You’ve got this.” I entered my destination, “Eiffel tower” and using “transportation” -instead of the other map options like, Drive, walk etc and a turn by turn, step by step of what train, which platform, which direction -take the xyz to abc and in X stops get off just after Y and because Steve was quite the visionary my phone even showed me which direction to face and go!!! Bravo Apple Maps. Bravo.

This app is awesome to have when in Paris. You don't need wifi and the best part is that you just put where you are and where you want to go and the route is given to you. It made it much easier to move around and you don't look like a dumb tourist looking at paper maps. You blend in so to speak.

I would double check routes at first just in case. I know there were a couple of times where it took me to 3 trains to get to one location vs 2 where it was more a direct route. There is no zoom when a route is plotted either so that's a bit of a bummer but oh well.

Overall 4 well deserved stars. It's a handy tool to have especially when you're going to multiple destinations in a day.

I've always used the Streetwise Paris map to get around, but this vacation we tried this app. It is very quick and helpful. If you don't know Paris at all, you'll need a map too, since the locations of stations don't show up as street addresses, etc. But definitely a quick way to find the shortest route between stations!
