Download the festival map before the festival, save to Dropbox, and don’t worry about keeping the paper one on hand! Make sure to save it as a favorite on your iPhone so you can access it without reception.

Foursquare – Find Places to Eat, Drink, and Visit

Well, of course. 🙂 If you’re going with a group and split up, Foursquare will help you keep track of where people are at!

Remember there’s a handy Tips Nearby section, great to discover good local eats, bars, and sites outside Seattle Center.
