Discover smarter travel with the GPSmyCity App: a fantastic resource for travelers that love exploring a city at their own pace.

Do you love getting to know a new city through a walking tour?

Guided walking tours are great, but what if there was an App that could provide a guided walking tour on your phone, empowering travelers to be their own guide? Guess what?? There is! Let me introduce the GPSmyCity App, where you can download GPS embedded city walking tours to use without Wi-Fi or data!

What is the GPSmyCity App?

GPSmyCity is a travel App that offers thousands of curated GPS embedded sightseeing or discovery walks in over 1500 cities worldwide. Their detailed route maps direct you from one attraction to the next with GPS guidance.

If you’re like me and you love researching your next travel destination, then you probably read articles and blog posts about that city. The GPSmyCity App also have amazing blog posts about each city – some of mine included! In each blog post on the App, all the amazing places mentioned in the post are GPS embedded. So, if you find a post you love, instead of having to bookmark it or copy down notes, you can just download it through the App, and it instantly becomes a GPS embedded self-guided tour that works offline!

Why I Love the GPSmyCity App

Here is why this App has become my new favorite go-to travel resource.

Firstly, it offers offline navigation. I can download the maps and articles before I head out for the day and explore without worrying about roaming charges and signal blackouts.

Secondly, I know the blog posts have been written by real travelers, like me, not generated by AI. When I read a post that resonates with me, I know the author has actually been to the places described and experienced what I will experience.

Finally, the GPSmyCity App is budget friendly. How much would you spend on a guided walk of a city? Multiply that figure by the number of cities you would visit in a year. For a fraction of that cost, you can have full access to thousands of self-guided city walks. The App has a free version, but for the GPS embedded maps and articles you only have to pay $2 per article download or for a whole years’ full access to all maps and articles, it only costs $20.99!

How Does the GPSmyCity App Work?

I have created a very simple video to show you what the App looks like and how to navigate it.

That’s how easy it is to use! It really is like having your own tour guide in the palm of your hand!

To trial the App, my daughter and I put on our walking shoes and hit the city!

Taking the GPSmyCity App for a Test Drive

We decided to be a tourist in our own city and try out the App to see how easy it is to use, and if it could offer us something new to see in a city that we have lived in our whole lives.

I used the paid version of the App and opened a Discovery Walk focusing on street art. Using the easy-to-follow GPS embedded map, we quickly discovered murals around the city, some hidden and some in plain sight that we just hadn’t noticed before.

I’m hooked! We had a fun afternoon discovering very cool art and stopping for a few refreshments along the way. Who knew there was a Brooki’s Cookies enroute?!?

Ready To Try the GPSmyCity App for Free?

I am so excited to share that I have partnered with GPSmyCity and 10 of my blog posts are now published on the App!

For a limited time, I can offer my readers free access to 3 of my city guides, upgraded with GPS links embedded throughout.

  1. How to Spend a Long Weekend in Edinburgh, Scotland.
  2. Istanbul Complete 5 Day Itinerary for First Time Visitors
  3. First Timer’s Guide to Surprising San Francisco

These upgraded versions of my blog posts are completely free to download for the next 2 weeks only, from July 21st, 2025, to August 4th, 2025.

Even if you are not planning to travel to these cities right away, download them for a later date. I’d love to know what you think of the App and whether you like it as much as I do.

A list of my other travel articles that have been published on the App are listed below. These articles are not part of the free download promotion but will be available to download with a subscription from the July 21, 2025.
