"Virtual guide points out the sights
You can't beat having a local show you around their city, one who knows exactly where you are and points out fascinating details about your surroundings. Now a new smartphone app from Google called Field Trip aims to do just that. The app, only available on Android phones in the US for now, uses Wi-Fi or GPS to place you, then feeds you relevant information about your location, alerting you to interesting places as you pass near them.
The user decides how much or how little info they want, and alerts range from historical facts about buildings to reviews of restaurants and local money-off deals. For those behind the wheel, a driving mode announces details aloud."
