I was given a one year premium membership to an app called GPSmyCity.
… over 6,500 self-guided walks in 1,500+ cities around the world, featuring the best of each city, from world famous attractions to hidden gems.
Born and raised in Calgary, I decided to first try the Sculptures in Calgary Walking Tour. It includes those walkable from the city centre.
I downloaded to be used offline.
And followed the recommended route as closely as possible.
This installation was closed due to construction.
3) Family of Man
My personal favourite. Family of Man is a 21 feet tall set of sculptures … that reflect raceless, naked and expressionless human women and men. All sculptures are combined in groups and each one of them extend their hands in gesture of goodwill and fellowship.
My second favourite.
Too cluttered in my opinion.
9) Brick Couch
The Brick Couch has been removed. Or possibly moved. The app should be updated now and again as changes are inevitable.
The installation below is NOT in GPSmyCity, but could be included as it’s exactly en route.
10) Hanging Out
The least impressive was this display of frogs, now damaged. It could be removed from GPSmyCity.
I’ve traveled 90+ nations and will DEFINITELY use this app into the future. It’s far superior to have an easy-to-follow highlights walk than to wander randomly through new cities.
Navigation worked fairly well for me.
My biggest recommendation is that the app replace the current voice. It’s hilariously outdated compared with ALL the current realistic A.I. text to speech products.
Interested? The app offers many more travel tips.
Click PLAY or watch it on YouTube.
