As I said in my previous post, I plan on taking advantage of my time in Shanghai to be able to explore the city and the surrounding region. Having lived in Chicago for many years, I believe that the best way to explore a city is through its public transportation. The El was my way of learning Chicago one stop at a time. I hope that the Shanghai Metro will be my gateway to the city.
For that reason, the first Shanghai app I downloaded on to my phone, was Explore Shanghai Metro Map. This app has a complete map of the Shanghai Metro that is updated periodically. There are a lot of ofther features like GPS to help find the nearest station, a route planner, and street maps for every station. The best part... it works offline. I don't need to worry about having a data connection.
So I covered the good, lets move on to the bad. Most of the complaints are about how the time estimate from the app is always 15 to 20 minutes too short. I will just make sure to leave a little early.
I will of course update as I begin to use the app in Shanghai.
