Lonely Planet today announced its iPhone City Guides for iPhone and iPod Touch are now available for sale globally from the iTunes App Store.
The guides are interactive, personalised and fully searchable, according to Chris Boden, head of Wireless & Innovation at Lonely Planet.

With Lonely Planet City Guides, the GPS and scrolling touch-screen of the iPhone and iPod Touch enable travellers to access dynamic, interactive maps (offline) for plotting itineraries and current location; detailed chapters on a city’s culture, history, food and art; along with and images from Lonely Planet’s award-winning photographers that bring the city to life.
