Trekking around the the backwaters of the world and purchasing embarrassing ethnic hats in faraway climes is set to be that much easier with the announcement of Rough Guides Mobile for Intel-based Mobile Internet Devices (MIDs).
Although we haven’t seen many MIDs in the wild, Intel assure us that they will be everywhere in short order, competing with similar handheld devices like the Nokia N810 and Sony Mylo.
Rough Guides Mobile is an interactive, location-aware version of the popular backpacker’s guidebooks. It provides information on over 200 cities in 33 European countries.
Users can search for points of interest and use any GPS functionality available to the MID to access location-appropriate information such as guide books, restaurant and hotel reviews and streetmaps.
The developers, Creativity Software, say that the new app will offer the ability to Geotag photos and link them to your journey as well as submit your own ratings for local attractions.
