ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (WHAT THE TECH?) — Finding good places to eat while you’re on the road can be tough, especially when Google turns up fake reviews, but Mapstr can help.

It’s been around for quite a while and in that time. It’s built up quite a following from people looking for things to check out and from people who want to share their advice.

Mapstr offers suggestions from real people who recommend a good restaurant or bar because they’ve been there. Say you’re going to be in Las Vegas. Travelers have added favorite spots to Mapstr with information on what to expect and even what the place is known for.

Tap a dot on the map to see how many people recommend it. You can follow friends and fellow travelers—some who’ve visited and recommended thousands of places. See one you want to try and add it to your itinerary. And if you’re out and pass by one of those spots, you’ll get a notification.

Sure Google Maps allows users the same options. But it’s all Mapstr does.

I found the app to be especially helpful when traveling abroad. France, where the app is based, offers thousands of reviews and recommendations from locals. And what better way to find an out-of-the-way jewel than asking someone who lives there.

Mapstr is a free app for iPhone and Android and viewing most maps cost nothing. Some influencers do charge to see their recommendations.
