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.
“We’ve tried to take advantage of the iPhone’s location awareness, vast data storage and simple user interface… to help travellers get to the heart of some of the world’s most exciting cities from the convenience of their hip pocket.”
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.
