Courses are held in German.
Would you like to really use your smartphone on holiday instead of leaving it in flight mode? Find your way to the hotel even without an internet connection? Book a train ticket on the spur of the moment or translate a menu with your camera?
In three hours your Android device becomes a travel companion. We set up the most important travel apps together and go through the situations where you need them – including how to keep roaming costs and insecure hotel Wi-Fi under control.
What you will learn
- Navigating safely with Google Maps: planning routes by car, train and on foot, using offline maps without internet, finding restaurants and sights.
- Booking easily: booking train tickets or a hotel safely while you are on the move.
- Overcoming languages: translating menus with your camera and having conversations interpreted live.
- Costs and security: spotting roaming traps, controlling data usage and using public Wi-Fi safely.
What to bring
- Your charged Android smartphone (not an iPhone).
- You are comfortable with the basic operation of your device.
Why take part?
- You set everything up on your own device during the course – ready for your next trip.
- You know what to sort out before you leave and what still works while travelling.
- You travel lighter: no heavy guidebook and no worry about the bill afterwards.
