I travel a lot on business and I frequently end up in large cities that have both good and bad areas.  Sometimes I can get an idea of how safe the area is just by the surroundings, but often its difficult to know for sure.  That's where these maps come in.  They show graphically, in color, the areas that are mostly safe and those to stay away from, or if you can't avoid them altogether, to at least be more aware of your surroundings.  I live near San Francisco and have worked there for many years in the past and I agree with the areas that Michael Gard has shown as being higher in crime than most.  These maps work well on aKindle Fire, Full Color 7" Multi-touch Display, Wi-Fialthough the printing of street names is a little small.  The maps are in color, so the Kindle Fire takes advantage of that.  They would be even better on a larger screen like the iPad.There are maps for over three dozen cities including places you might go on vacation like Paris, Amsterdam, London or Madrid.  Their information could be very helpful when deciding on restaurants in the evening.  There are also lots of safety tips for walking, driving and staying in hotels.All in all, a great resource when traveling and information that is quick and easy to access.
