I'll give it a thought. As said I don't think I'll have time in the near future to work on this, but if I get the offline functionality done some day, the I could take that as a next development item. But don't hold your breath... ;)

Re: [Announce] Travel Guide for N9 released

Regarding the search functionality, would you search for a location, like "Munich" and expect to get a list of locations in Munich? Or were you thinking a search by location name, like "Technology Museum" (in Munich).

Personally I favour first over the second, some how I feel the generic search takes the App a bit different direction and also then you could query any Wikipedia article with it, which I don't like so much. But please give your thoughts, how you would use the App.

Thanks.

So, to me, it would be really nice to plan a trip to Paris, one weekend, and be able to see what's available that I hadn't thought of just yet. If there is so much to see and read up on in the area where I live, I am certain it will be even better in places I know less well than my hometown.

And like I said, it would be an excellent opportunity to cache the search results as well, while still on your home network.

Thanks again!

I was finally able to download and install this wonderful app from Nokia Store today!!!

Great app, thank you! :)

Re: [Announce] Travel Guide for N9 released

Yes, now the installation worked from the Store.

Re: [Announce] Travel Guide for N9 released

I contacted Nokia and they said their store upgrade broke N9 downloads. Now it's fixed and seems like people are able to download the App from store. If you like it, please give feedback in the store.

Thanks for your interest.
