With summer travel upon all of us, I wanted to tell you about HopStop, a free app that is very useful in navigating your way around a city. My friend Sally recently went to New York City and said that this app was invaluable! You link it up to your current location and where you want to go and the app will give you door to door directions to your destination. It also gives detailed directions on what subway to take, and even how many stops you will make before your exit. In addition to subway information, it provides the same information for all public transportation.
From the HopStop website:
