Spring is almost here and travelers across the world start preparing and seeking travel destinations. How about a week or more of knowing people, exploring new places, fun and games never seen, and relishing on the regional food? While carrying all that you need, Android can become your travel partner. The GPS chip in your Droid makes it indispensable whether you drive, walk, or fly.

Android is a name that brings growth, fun, leisure, and business. Venturing into Droid market and developing android applications has become a trend. Various android application development firms are luring its customers providing them every facility from business to leisure. Its vacation time and I want to focus on some apps that can make your travel, a memorable one.

Begin the journey with music Starting with music, Sprint, partnering with Real networks, has ventured into some music distribution. This android app development lets users manage their existing music library, as well as purchase new music and ring-tones. It allows you to purchase individual songs, full albums, ring-back tones and ring-tones. The best part is it allows you to personalize the ring tones for each individual calling you. Now create custom ring-back tones for your contacts based on individuals, groups, and special occasions. Also, try other applications in the market that allow for cropping tracks into bite-size tones. And its free!

Augmented Reality If you are in love with your Droid, you obviously know about augmented reality. Layar 5.0 is in news, which transforms the graphics and computer-generated environment into real-world. Layar is like an augmented reality browser that integrates location-relevant data and shows them on a live imagery being captured using mobile camera.Layar shows location-based information in the form of layers. Information comprises of nearest restaurants, pubs, lodging, parks, art, beauty, city tours, education, etc. Unlike the old version of static images, 3D models and icons, Layar has a capability to display live content supporting animation. The images and 3D models can come to life with animation and can be shared on Facebook and Twitter.Google Maps The first and foremost app (after the basic ones) to be installed on your mobile device should be Google Maps. Its the first Droid app to ever pass 50 million downloads. Google Maps is considered as the basic software whil e you travel. The absolute brilliance of the Maps team helped create a product which wows first-time users, single-handily lures them over to Android, and keeps innovating time and time again.Dont ever lose your way as Maps shows your location on the map, usually within 1000 meters, so that you can find out where you are even without GPS.

Trip Journal An awe-inspiring app, awarded by Google for innovative concept and design, lets you track, record, document and share features with your friends and family. With Google Earth integration, Trip Journal allows people to easily see your traveling routes, way points for visited locations, full screen photos, videos, comments and blog entries. Other details involving travel stats such as distance, time and geography traveled are also documented in real-time. Integration with social networking sites adds to the thrill as it enables masses to actually see your adventures.Travel Wisconsin Yet another software that has made its mark and finds local attractions easily. The app can be downloaded from Android market and works on any mobile device operating with Android OS 1.6 or greater. Now finding local attractions is as simple as a walk in the park. Events are sorted by proximity with the closest events listed first and are also organized by date. Along with lodging de stinations, it shows the available amenities to make it easy for users to choose their stay. Directions and maps to each location are also available.

Social media Social media integration is one of its features allowing you to share the link on Facebook and various other sites. Also, return to your favorite listings by saving and bookmarking them.
