I'm travelling to Europe this fall and was wondering if the apps I use in the USA for maps (like MapQuest) or locating restaurants, hotels, etc (like Around Me)will work as well there, or if I need to get Europe-focussed versions.
And, if so, how do I find other versions of these, or are there others specific for that purpose?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
