5.0 out of 5 stars A BRILLIANT IDEA AND A MUST HAVE FOR TRAVELLERS 25 May 2012
By RJ Parker - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition
STAY SAFE CRIME MAPS, designed and published by Michael Gard is a great application to have on your Kindle, iPad, iPhone etc., for when travelling.

There are digital guides and colored maps for three dozen major cities available from the creator of Stay Safe Crime Maps, which pinpoints the most dangerous sections of these cities. In addition, the author has great advice and tips on what to do while travelling; If you attacked, If you think you are being followed, What to carry while touring, Safety tips while at your hotel and others.

In every major city, there are shady places we should avoid, especially if we are not use to the city. When you're packing for a trip, you really should include these guides.

4.0 out of 5 stars Tested on Kindle II and on Fire 30 Jun 2012

I was asked to look over this new concept in applications; it's a neat idea.

Easy to download as a book is, really acts no differently either. You get a contents or index page, as well as an image breaking the listed City(s) into sections, giving you 'chapter' numbers to go to for a given section.

I've not lived in the Raleigh/Durham area, so I can't comment on the accuracy of the maps, nor their ability to warn you of 'risky' areas.

But I will say that this concept is better used on a Fire, or any other large screened device, and color helps. The maps are perfectly legible on a regular kindle, but a bit too hard to read and understand to my 50yr old eyes, however on the 'Fire' it becomes quite easy to work with.

I'd give 5+ stars to both the concept and the execution, as well as to the general safety info given. But on a regular Kindle, in my honest opinion it isn't easy enough on the eyes to have any great value. It is much better on the Fire, but a bigger still screen would be better!

If this were an application for a computer, or even a 'netbook', it would get the five stars, but based on the devices it is listed for here on Amazon, I must only give it four stars.

Perhaps with younger eyes it would provide a greater value on these devices?
5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Insurance Policy You Can Get! 25 Jun 2012

Have you ever planned a trip to a city and looked for a place to stay, a restaurant or attractions to enjoy and wondered "Is it safe?" If you are like me you have and, until Michael Gard's "Stay Safe Crime Map" series we had to rely on friends in the area or just luck. I know that it took a friend in Washington to save me from a hotel in what seemed like a good location but was not, but what if you are traveling to an area where you have no friends? The answer is the Stay Safe Crime Map.

This product consists of maps of Raleigh & Durham on which the high crime areas are covered by cross-hatching. At a glance you can tell where to go and where avoid. Download this on your tablet or phone before the trip and consult it as you drive.

The other feature of the Stay Safe is a set of generic, common sense safety rules that most could figure out on their own but for which periodic reminders are always helpful.

If you are going into a city for which Michael Gard offers a Stay Safe Crime Map, download it. For the price it is the best insurance policy you can get!
