This new city guide is rivaling those like LonelyPlanet with a fresh take on mobile travel. Currently with 2.5 million users, this unique interface of GuidePal allows users to search their destination with augmented reality, giving a heads-up display on mobile devices.
What sets this app apart is its integration with social media, which gives users the power to update their locations on Facebook at Twitter. Maps and guides are offline (stored in the phone's memory), so users don't need to have a data plan to use it, and they also get special offers and discounts at popular destinations.
And guess what, it's available on iOS, Android, Blackberry, and Windows mobile. Check out more at GuidePal.com.
