This is cool. Nothing new as far as technology, but finding hidden places; like less know beaches or a small store or other lessor know gem can be hard, so the application of a virtual tour guild would be pretty useful here.
\nIt’s hitting the apple store Dec 8, just in time for the Hawaii season. If someone is going to be out there soon, give this a try and let us know how it goes.
\nPress release follows.<\/p>\n
Kauai GPS Tour Guide for
\nthe iPhone is a virtual tour guide that talks to vacationers
\nas they drive around Kauai. Using the GPS built into the
\niPhone, the Tour Guide knows exactly where travelers are and
\nalerts them to hidden beaches, scenic lookouts, historic
\nsites, hikes, farmers markets and many other Kauai
\nattractions.<\/p>\n
The Kauai GPS Tour Guide is the first app of its kind
\navailable to Kauai visitors. “It’s like having an island
\nresident drive with you to tell you about the island,”
\nexplains HawaiiGaga.com developer James Pretorius.<\/p>\n
The Tour Guide includes over 200 points of interest and uses
\na real human voice – not a computer generated one. The
\napplication also includes comprehensive beach and snorkeling
\nguides, weather and surf forecasts, driving directions,
\nKauai background information for tourists including detailed
\nocean safety guidelines, and select activity and restaurant
\nrecommendations.<\/p>\n
