♦ OVERVIEW
The London Visitors Map of central London is designed especially for the tourist.

Road information shown includes A and B roads, bus routes and a selection of principal minor roads. This map is drawn by real cartographers with the detailed care and human touch of emphasis and colour that A-Z are famous for.

This is also a great feature for anyone planning routes as it instantly displays the distance for the complete route. These annotations can be stored and retrieved instanly on the device.

Latest reviews of London Visitors A-Z app for iPhone and iPad
Youre better off using the map app that comes with your iPhone. This app couldnt even locate my hotel, even though its location is on the map!
I just used this map on a week long trip and it was incredibly helpful. Its main limitation is that it covers a limited area and some tiny streets aren"t shown. On the one time I was seriously lost, it saved my butt. For 90% of tourists, this map will fill their needs.
Optimize for iPhone 5 would be great!
This deleloper is misunderstanding for me. They will charge many times for the same app!!!!!! Dont buy
Just finished 2 weeks in London, much of it on foot. This app is a map in my pocket. It works with no internet connection. There are tube stations, buildings, and parks. It covers just west of Kensington to just east of Tower of London, north of Regent Park and south to Earls Court--Walworth. I was very happy with it; no problems.
