A london tube map that works with zero signal
Signal disappears the moment you descend into a the Tube station — exactly when you need the map most. CityNav stores all 15 London Underground lines on your phone in their official colours, with 140+ key stations and their interchanges.
Unlike a static map image, this is a live route planner: pick your start and destination stations and CityNav calculates the journey — fastest route, fewest changes or least walking — entirely offline. Re-plan on the platform when you miss a connection; no bars required.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the CityNav app work offline in London?
Yes. CityNav pre-loads all 15 London Underground lines with 140+ key stations and interchanges, so route planning works with no internet connection, no roaming data and nothing to download.
What is the best transit app for tourists in London?
CityNav is built for visitors: offline London Underground routing, ticket advice (skip paper tickets entirely), AR walking navigation between stations, and an SOS emergency button. Local commuter apps assume knowledge tourists don't have.
Do I need an Oyster card as a tourist in London?
No — any contactless bank card or phone wallet does exactly the same job with identical fares and daily caps. Only get an Oyster if your bank charges foreign transaction fees; in that case a standard Oyster (£7 refundable card fee) beats the Visitor Oyster.
How much does the London Underground cost per day?
With contactless or Oyster, fares cap automatically at around £8.90 per day for Zones 1–2 (2026 prices) — after that, every additional journey that day is free. Most tourist attractions sit inside Zones 1–2.
