Me being pretty much a noobi with Nokia Maps (cos the Google map
app is much easier to operate) I'm wondering what added value these
cityguides provide in Maps? Are there like a plurality of points of
interest (historic sites, shops, public buildings, etc) placed on
the map, or how does it operate really?
Yes, points of interests, accommodation, food, shopping,
services, activities... Quite a lot of stuff actually, placed on
the map conveniently for you...
Visited kungliga slottet (royal palace) and the lovely little
suomalainen kirkko. The one we really wanted to see, "heavy metal"
livrustkammaren, isn't open :(
Lots of stuff to see in Stockholm! :) Karin and I will be in at
noon to do some outdoorsy shopping. Always an endless stream of
things to get and upgrade when it comes to backpacks, tents and
stoves. Now that I think of it, upgraditis within this
realm is actually a lot worse syndrome than with mobile phones
:)
Oh, between 15-19 there's a
tongue-in-cheek protest against the FRA law that was passed a
few weeks ago in Sweden (sorry, only found a Swedish version).
There's bananas in it for you (us) if you (we) go there :)
@cybette: ah, a tent you
say, we can help you there :) although I think you're looking for a
festival tent and not a fancy handmade Swedish tent, right? :)

Just tried on a dress, reminding myself why I don't wear dresses: I look like a guy trying to cross-dress....
