I'd like to ask - adding to this great discussion - whether there is an maps app that would allow one to become somewhat familiar with a new country or destination. I'm thinking of visiting Cyprus, and I'm wondering whether there is a map app that would allow me to get familiar with the country and more importantly with the particular town close to which I'm going to be staying.
Thanks for any tips.
