Move around with a personal tour guide in your pocket!

Having GPS on your cellphone or smartphone is a wonderful thing, and now it can be even better with GPS SightFinder.

In the days of yore, a rudimentary device called compass was the only option available to show direction to those who lost their way or for those trying to chart new paths.

Centuries later, GPS-enabled cellphones or smartphones are doing the job, and much better. If you had found the GPS application wonderful, then here’s one which you’ll say is incredible – the GPS SightFinder.

The software application leverages your phone’s onboard GPS and web capabilities to keep you updated on sites and landmarks nearby. It grabs pictures and text from the Interwebs according to your current location, along with Wikipedia articles that explain exactly what you're looking at.

Now, isn’t that like having your own personal tour guide?
