Sometimes, you just want to take the scenic route to get to where you're going and with the Crowsflight app you'll be able to do just that. The innovative and relatively different mapping utility offers users the ability to input a destination, but won't be able to look at a standard map; instead, they'll be show a compass that points in the direction they should head.
The Crowsflight app is a great way to explore a city without fears of getting lost because instead of feeling forced to head one way or another the mapping interface will simply suggest the way with a countdown of how far you are. It's a modern yet old school approach to finding your way in that it makes optimal use of technology, but won't overload you with too much sensory information.
