GeoPedia finds the Eiffel Tower Making fantastic use of the Google Maps My Location feature, GeoPedia uses the extremely huge Wikipedia database, and finds Wiki-entries that make use of your current geographical location on the world map.

For example; as seen on your immediate left, if you were standing but miles away from the Eiffel Tower, you’d see the Eiffel Tower as one of your many selections within the GeoPedia application.

Basically, it’s like having your very own pocket tour guide. No need for a tourist in this new day and age!
