After having studied the problem from every angle, it appeared that the main characteristics of a 'local person' was his ability to direct a visitor, help him choose his itinerary, provide commentaries on main sites, give advice on where to eat, where to go out, what exhibition to see, or even where to go shopping."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/web/2003/ekkie_digi-guide_200610.jpg" /><br /><br />Anyone planning a trip to Paris soon? Digi-Guide is a service offered in France for walking tours, except instead of being restricted to a group, you would rent a Pocket PC (preloaded with the Digi-Guide software) and a GPS receiver. The combination acts as your tour guide, allowing you the ability to move through the tour at your own pace, knowing at all times where you are relative to all the points-of-interest. Of course, if you already have the hardware (Pocket PC & GPS Receiver), can't we just get the software for a reduced fee? That's exactly what Digi-Guide has done, making any one of their many tours downloadable for the bargain price of 1€ (little more than $1USD). Enjoy!
