[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A game changer for me was downloading maps onto my phone before travel and relying on GPS, which doesn’t need cellular signal to work.
I rely on public tranportation and walk everywhere (if you call Uber to get from airport to hotel etc then don’t worry about this) so before I get on the plane, I enter my destination from the arrival airport and sort out how I am getting there. 
Even if I can’t get a signal, having a map to tell me where I am is the most helpful thing. I used to carry a compass and try to navigate with a paper map, but Google Maps on a smartphone, working with GPS only is the bomb. You can map out how to get from A to B and even if your cell or wifi signal cuts out, the route will still show on the phone.

Another game changer is this refillable toothpaste tubes. I travel very light (right now I’m in Copenhagen for 1 week and brought only one personal sized bag and a cross body bag) and usually I’m running to the drug store to buy travel size toothpaste before a trip. Now I can just fill these.

The other perk is that these tubes don’t dispense a big glob of toothpaste, can control the amount that is squeezed out better.

Please explain this Gps and downloadable maps to a non tech savvy person

Where and how do I do that?[/quote]
