In 2009 they opened up the network, and made it possible for anyone with an ADS-B receiver to upload data to the network.<\/p>\n<p>And even if you\u2019re not travelling, there\u2019s nothing like tapping into Flightradar24, finding your mate somewhere over the Atlantic, taking a screenshot of his location, and then tagging him on Facebook.<\/p>\n<p>Android | iOS | <a href=\"http:\/\/windowsphone.com\/s?appId=6341514f-ad9d-43de-a579-34086c4180e7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Windows<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Uber \u2013 Cashless Cab Service<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-34666\" src=\"https:\/\/travelstartmu.wpenginepowered.com\/zablog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/10\/Uber-Mobile-App.jpg\" alt=\"Uber Mobile App\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In such a short space of time Uber has changed the way we move around cities. I know their app has changed my life, and while I\u2019m paying a slight premium for the service, I believe it\u2019s worth it as I don\u2019t have to leave a tip, I no longer spend frustrating minutes on the phone to chaotic cab call centres, and the ride I get is of a much higher standard than I\u2019d get through your average taxi company roaming the streets of Cape Town. Uber is now available in all of South Africa\u2019s major centres \u2013 Cape Town, Johannesburg, and Durban \u2013 and if you\u2019re travelling internationally, you simply use the same app you\u2019d use at home with no modifications needed. Uber is now available in at least 43 countries, and their global expansion is gathering momentum. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uber.com\/cities\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Check whether or not Uber is available in your city<\/a>, or a city you\u2019re travelling to overseas.

Popular as it is on the big screen, the mobile developers at TripAdvisor have done a damn fine job of distilling the functionality and features of the website into small screens, making the TripAdvisor app a convenient tool for exploring foreign cities as well as your own. Besides the reviews, what I really like about the mobile app is that it syncs with your smartphones GPS to locate restaurants, hotels and attractions close to you.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.tripadvisor.tripadvisor&amp;hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Android<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/gb\/app\/tripadvisor\/id284876795?mt=8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">iOS<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/www.windowsphone.com\/en-za\/store\/app\/tripadvisor\/180b0f46-e753-e011-854c-00237de2db9e\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Windows<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>HerdTracker \u2013 Track the East Africa Migration in real time<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-34667\" src=\"https:\/\/travelstartmu.wpenginepowered.com\/zablog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/10\/HerdTracker-Discover-Africa.png\" alt=\"HerdTracker Discover Africa\" width=\"560\" height=\"480\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Want to know where the Wildebeest are?

Using weekly updates sent in by pilots flying over Kenya\u2019s Masai Mara and Tanzania\u2019s Serengeti, safari guides and lodges in the area, HerdTracker plots the exact position of the wildebeest herds on a real-time Google map.

What?!? Yep, researchers at the University of Michigan have devised a mobile travel app to overcome one of the few things that make your nomadic lifestyle unpleasant business. Before the idea of probes being permanently soldered to your glands connected to your cellphone become a worrisome prospect, the app, called Entrain, operates on the premise that natural light is the body\u2019s strongest signal controlling \u201ccircadian rhythms\u201d. The app provides users with schedules of light and darkness, including a block of time to be spent in the brightest possible light, and another to be spent in the dark. It makes use of \u201coptimal control theory,\u201d a technique that calculates the best such schedules to help users adjust their body clocks for more than a thousand possible trips. The app is said to be the first to use a mathematical approach to the problem of adjusting to new time zones and overcoming jet lag.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/app\/entrain\/id844197986?mt=8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">iOS<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Over \u2013 Add beautiful text &amp; artwork to photos<\/h2>\n<p><iframe src=\"\/\/instagram.com\/p\/rKLpUMNEBT\/embed\/\" width=\"612\" height=\"710\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>For Android and Apple users, Over makes it easy to add beautiful typography and artwork to your photos.
