App Name Price Notes QR Code
Gaia GPS, by
Trailbehind
$4.99 This app provides offline road and
topographic maps for times when you’re
traveling out of cell tower range. It’s
aimed primarily at outdoor sports, but it’s
still very useful for traveling to rural areas.
Geodelic, by
Geodelic Systems
Free
This is also known as Sherpa on some
phones. Geodelic finds nearby
restaurants, cafes, attractions, and so on.
You can browse by category of food or
distance.
Google Translate,
by Google
Free This is Google’s official app for its Google
Translate service. Not only does this app
translate text to and from more than 50
languages, but it also has an audio-
pronunciation guide.
Health and Medicine
Health-care professionals were among the first to see
the immediate usefulness of mobile technology, and
app writers haven’t ignored this. Epocrates has a long
tradition of offering its reference materials on PDAs and
other mobile devices, and pharmaceutical companies
are making their own apps.
Medical Spanish Audio is our favorite app of this
group. It lists Spanish phrases by category, such as
trauma assessments.
If you check the box next to a question, you can
bookmark it for reference; and if you click a question,
the app will pronounce it aloud for you.
See Table A–12 for a list of health and medicine apps.
