    I used citymapper on my trip through four countries in Europe a couple months ago and it was amazing for the transit systems and navigating me around. Especially useful in Paris and London’s subway and bus lines. I really liked the reminder notification it would send me when my stop was approaching, because I would get the notification on my Garmin watch.

    Other than that, openvpn client back to my home router in the US when I was on public Wi-Fi.

    Google translate for real time image translation and quick reference to ensure I remembered the right word in French or German properly.

      City mapper is excellent for bike riding too! It lets you use bike share bikes confidently knowing that it’s routing you on safe bike lanes and roads, rather than sending you down heavily trafficked ones like Google does.

      It only works on some cities though, which is a bummer.
