Ratings and Reviews
Detailed Sea and Land Coverage of Hong Kong
An excellent free app for those who want to fully explore Hong Kong. What I particularly like is the slider function that enables the user to merge map and chart information together. Kudos to the Hong Kong Hydrographic Office and their collaborators in the Survey and Mapping Office for developing this app. A good example of interdepartmental cooperation serving the public interest.
