Wanted to say people didn’t know these?? But then I remembered that these days everyone is an average user that doesn’t care about many features 😂

I have been doing this on Andriod for almost a decade using Google maps / travel planner. I can sit at my PC and plan the whole trip (restaurants to try, museums to see, land marks, signigicant to history locations, symphony, glass blowing, rock climbing, hiking and the list goes on since everything is on Google) which syncs to my phone and my wifes iPhone. Better maps with better translation with all the reviews one stop shop.

Check-in feature I’ve never heard of it until now. Thanks for the good tip, Bridget!

$10/Day for data is DIABOLICAL! T-mobile data is free across most of Europe and South Africa!

GREAT TIPS! Thanks for sharing.

Glance at your Watch to check the turn – you don’t even need to do this, as the vibration is distinct between left and right and I believe also straight ahead (cross the road at a junction)
@BridgetCarey
August 9, 2024 at 3:41 pm
Wait it vibrates different ways?! I never noticed! brb running out to try this…
@Simon-L-B

10 dollars a day, i’d not pay. Instead get your phone unlocked by your carrier (or if it’s bought sim free you’re unlocked already), and get a prepaid SIM.
CNET recommending a $10 per day data package to “save money” as a travel tip? 🤦
@BridgetCarey
August 9, 2024 at 3:37 pm
Not recommending it or saying it saves money, but just being honest about how I did it. Glad folks are jumping in with other ideas. I was on vacation so I did the quick easy thing.

One additional tip as a traveller: eSIMs are super easy and cheap and a great option for roaming in another country. You can get a “local” eSIM installed via the app pretty easily and really cheap for a data-only SIM. Apps like Airalo or MobiMatter are great.
@Kerleem
August 9, 2024 at 2:37 pm
Also most other countries use WhatsApp quite heavily for calls and texts so it’s a must!

Dont use a US carrier int data plan! Thats the worst option. Thats 10-12 dollars a day – 70/84 bucks for 7 days for data signal that wont be optimized. Just buy a local sim card, from Three, or Vodafone – I got 70gb of data for 15 GBP this summer 2024 in London (fyi – in the US it takes excessive use outside of wifi to hit 2gb of data usage) Three and Vodafone also allow you to spend what you want, more or less

To use the airplane’s inflight entertainment system with your own headphones or earbuds you’ll need a Bluetooth adapter. If you have an AirPods Pro Max either the BT adapter or Apple’s bidirectional cable.

$10 per day?!? 30 days 50gb euro roaming esim is about $12. Smarty, Lycamobile, Holafly, and many more!
@princegj84
August 9, 2024 at 4:57 pm
$10 dollars a day is ridiculous!

Apple fitness also makes maps when you’re walking. Though I guess you have to be “working out” to make the fun map 🙂
@conorfurlong
August 9, 2024 at 9:50 pm
Maps on Apple Watch is one of my absolute favourite features of the device. It really comes into its own when you’re travelling, to never have to take out a map or your phone to navigate a city.

Your iCloud Photo explanation missed an important step…the need to hit the box with the arrow point up to bring the options up.

Would of been much cheaper to upgrade to Version Ultimate plan for extra $10 a month! it comes with free international plan.

One tip you probably should’ve learned is to never use a USB port to charge outside of your own devices. Always plug-in to an outlet or use a battery bank.

August 10, 2024 at 1:02 pm
Great tips Bridget, I’m surprised myself at how many people don’t know simple things like offline maps is available, learned a couple things from your Guides section too thanks!

I recommend using a VPN because some countries block access to YouTube, Instagram, etc. Also, a VPN provides you with a more private/secure connection.

Thx. I’m fooling around with the check-in feature right now with my sister. I had no idea. And I downloaded the widget of the spare clock face to keep track of time at home when traveling. I did that on the World Clock before, but I think I’ll prefer a quick glance.
