Ho Chi Minh City · questions

About the Ho Chi Minh City volume.

What is the best non-touristy guide to Ho Chi Minh City?
Pin Reef’s Ho Chi Minh City volume is a hand-picked Google My Maps file with 55,270 independent places — cafés, restaurants, galleries, record shops, bookshops and more — across 13 themed collections. Every pin is placed by a person, no chains, no tourist traps.
How do I open the Ho Chi Minh City guide on my phone?
You import the file into Google My Maps once on a laptop (drag the .kml or .kmz into google.com/mymaps), then open the Google Maps app on your phone → profile → Saved → Maps. The Ho Chi Minh City layer appears there and every pin is tappable for directions.
Does the Ho Chi Minh City map work offline?
Yes. In the Google Maps app, download the Ho Chi Minh City area for offline use (profile → Offline maps → Select your own map). Your custom layer of pins then works alongside the offline base map with no data connection.
How much does the full Ho Chi Minh City volume cost?
The complete Ho Chi Minh City volume — all 13 collections, 55,270 places — is a one-time $55.90 download. You can also buy a single collection from $5.90, or the indie-coffee + indie-restaurants pair on its own.
