Find the Best Places to Visit Without Using WiFi

Made-to-order offline travel guides from Stay.com

Let’s say you want to go to Portland. (Who doesn’t want to go to Portland?)

But you don’t know what to do once you get to Portland.

Before packing a bag or boarding a flight, make a mandatory trip to Stay.com. The site builds custom travel guides for over 120 cities using a simple one-click process.

Listings are broken down by things to do, restaurants, hotels, and bars, with TripAdvisor reviews for each. There’s a separate section for can’t-miss highlights and even prefab packages like Top 10 Portland Restaurants.

Click an item’s “Add to Guide” button and it’s queued up. Need something that’s not listed? Simply search, drag, and drop it into your guide.

Stay.com will organize your itinerary into a magazine-esque PDF complete with photos and maps. Alternatively, use the iPhone or Android app to beam the guide to your phone, where it’s stored offline so you can search listings and view maps with no data connection whatsoever.

Tinker, tweak, then share the final product with your travel companions. Repeat as needed (there are lots of cities out there).
