Another great use for Google Maps is when you're on a bus, like when I was in Portugal. You can't always understand the announced next stops and sometimes the digital display at the front of the bus isn't working. You can use maps to put in your destination and follow the route on your phone, so you know when to get off. 😊

Thanks for another great video! A few years ago, we did a fabulous Monastery stay in Italy where we spoke no Italian and the nuns spoke no English. Imagine our surprise when one of the nuns whipped out the Google Translate app and saved the day! Such a lovely stay… 🤗

[bigreddallas]

Once again, l learned things l didn't realize l needed to know and/or didn't know existed. Please keep at it, you are really a gift to those of us who love to travel! Thank you! And, be safe! 😊

My girlfriend and I are taking a 25-day cruise in October in Greece and Italy. This information will be invaluable! I'm trying my best to research prior to leaving so thank you for this video and others you make.

Helpful for global travel. But for us road trip warriors here in the U.S., I always download the state(s) DOT road conditions app(s) to my phone, especially if I'm traveling in areas where dicey weather (snow, ice, etc.) can shutdown highways. You can get road conditions, closures, and chain requirements in near-real time. Also, having a good weather app is a must, too.

Great content! Would have loved the lists functions on a very recent trip, but now I know for future trips. Would love to see you do more detailed videos on the apps and how to actually use and set up. I know it seems basic but sometimes navigating around within an app to figure out how to use it is not intuitive. This would be so helpful. I just subscribed to your channel so hoping I’ll see you doing some of the more in-depth videos. Happy travels!

This couldn't have come at a better time. Leaving for Europe on Tuesday for three weeks. Thank you for posting this.

This is a great video! I use most of these apps already, but I learned a few new tricks and tips that are going to be handy on my next trip! Thanks Nora!

[kirstenveneziano]

Great tips! I Now understand how to use Google Translate a little better. It's super important for me to understand how to tell people in another language that I'm allergic to shellfish. I also downloaded the money conversion app and have set up a few countries that I plan on visiting next year. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

We were on a cruise to Antarctica this past January. I was floored we could video call with my kids back home to share the scenery from the balcony of our cabin in real-time. FROM ANTARCTICA. WhatsApp is awesome. Also the de facto means of communication in Argentina.

Great video… need to do more with Google lists. Thanks for the reminder. Heading to Japan in a week and have so much to see.

Indeed how did we ever manage before????

[WiseFamin]

That lists feature in Google Maps is particularly helpful for group travel and reunions!

[creativeinfusion]

Great tips Nora. I also love how when I use Google Maps for walking through a city that my watch also buzzes when I should turn - so I can tuck my phone away and not have to search for street names either.

[AVIONBLANC]

Very helpful. Yes, please more vids on the apps you use. Thank you.

[IsabellaJohnson-ke]

Thanks. You, you, you are amazing, amazing, amazing

[shasha]

Watching from Manila, thanks for the travel tips, Nora, they're very informative 😊

[aminor]

Yes, I love Google Translate. I am an American and live in Poland. All of the Google translate features are useful for me to survive in a foreign country.

Thank you so much, Nora!!! It sounds like a lot of these apps are handy if you are traveling in the US too. Especially the VPN.
