Wikitude points you to Wikipedia entries near you using geo-location

Wikitude points you to Wikipedia entries near you using geo-location

The developer calls Wikitude a "World Browser," an app that helps you explore your surroundings and view information about landmarks near you.

Simply hold up your smartphone and small icons will appear that represent things like Wikipedia articles, geo-tagged twitter posts, ATMs, and more depending on how you customize it.

Wikitude tends to work well in big cities with many POI's (points of interest), but not as well in smaller cities and towns (even if they contain historic places).
Price: free from the App Store
