Using cell data when traveling can be quite complicated, slow, and – in some cases – very expensive. Even if you live in the US, having a fast, reliable Internet connection is far from certain when you are far away from major metro areas, which can be quite frustrating for some people, and understandably so. However, we are very lucky, because today, there are some pretty useful travel apps on the market that work great even when you don’t have an active Internet connection.

You can use Wi-Fi to since these apps in advance, and then continue using them without having to reconnect to the Internet every few minutes. Simply put, you can continue using them in offline mode, which can help you save money, as well as protect you from any potential frustration. Although there is a lot of different travel apps on the market that work great offline, we are not going to talk about all of them. Instead, we are going to focus all of our attention on just three of them. That way, it will be much easier for you to choose which one you want to use. So, are you read? Let’s go!

Here WeGo

Here WeGo was originally developed by Nokia. Today, Here WeGo is one of the most popular offline navigation apps on the market. Actually, it might be the best navigation app out there. The best thing about this app is that it has some features that even Google doesn’t provide you with, including directions for walking and cycling even when you don’t have an active Internet connection.

XE Currency

This one is a long-time favorite. XE Currency is an app that allows you to make quick currency conversions on the go. You just need to connect to the Internet once, add the currencies that you want to use, and you are all set to go. This app can convert from one currency to another in just a few short seconds.

Google Maps

Of course we had to include Google Maps on this list, didn’t we? When it comes to Google Maps, it is very easy to pick cities, towns, or regions, and sync them to your phone. You can then use the information that you synced with your phone to get driving directions – even when the airplane mode is on. Unfortunately, you cannot get walking, cycling, or public transit directions without an active Internet connection.
