World Wander: What's near me (Unreleased)

Use GPS to get information about cities near you when you travel

Have you ever been travelling & wondered where you were? What's nearby you? World Wander can tell you what cities are near you as you wander around the world. Read a summary of information from Wikipedia then go the the city's page to learn more. Want to see a map? Just select the Place icon to open Google Maps on the desired city.

*** Permissions ***

World Wander is a location based app so it needs user location permission. However, on Android 6.0 & later, you can try the demo mode without giving permission.

*** Disclaimer ***

World Wander attempts to balance the need for current information with battery and data usage. To achieve this balance, new city information is downloaded 2 - 5 times per hour.

Accuracy of and frequency of location updates may vary by device and other factors. When traveling on public transportation, sitting in a window seat should give better performance.
