GeoVector’s World Surfer 2 adds augmented reality
Calendar16 Fri, 05 Feb 2010 11:28:47 UTC +00:00
GeoVector has launched a new version (2.0) of its World Surfer app for the Apple iPhone and Android-powered devices. The updated application adds text search and augmented reality to the mix, allowing users to point their phones in a particular direction to search for retailers, restaurants, clean restrooms and other points of interest such as historical and some other sites. Likewise, you can rely on World Surfer 2 to verify the distance, location and direction of some destination. And as you find something of interest and afterwards decide it’s the place you want to return later, you can add it to your Favorites, which can be easily accessed at some later point. AppStore link is here (it’s a free app), whereas Android users should search for “world surfer” in the Android Market. Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The Read More

Amazing app!
SharkyLaguana 5.0 stars Version: 1.0
This might be the most useful app ever made for the iPhone, and I am not exaggerating. Where's my car? Where's the nearest bathroom? Oh my heavens this is fricking AWESOME! Great job guys! Now you just need to add car rentals (and van rentals!) :)
Great App!
PeachSF01 5.0 stars Version: 1.0
Love this app so far. Very useful even in a place you are familiar with already.
Only one you need
Audioelf 5.0 stars Version: 1.0
This is amazing. I can get rid of any other apps and just use this one! I'm proud to know you guys!
Awesome!
luntzilla 5.0 stars Version: 1.0
How many times have I been in an unfamiliar area trying to find gas, my bank, starbucks, whatever? Well a lot. My standalone gps is a pain in such situations. This app fills that void. I look forward to using it more and more!
Fantastic!
Tigger72166 5.0 stars Version: 1.0
Wow! What a great way to find out about what's going on around you. Just point and click! So easy and intuitive. Love it!

Very useful app and a great bargain.
World Surfer is great!
Romanruby 5.0 stars Version: 1.0
I needed to call the local bookstore up the street and I forgot the name of it, so I launched my World Surfer application, chose "bookstore" and pointed my phone in the direction of the store and their info came up. It was so easy! I found the bookstore, called and ordered the book that I needed in less than a minute, now that's service!!
Absolutely amazing!
kentk 5.0 stars Version: 1.0
Finally an app that can help me explore the area! I love the interface!
Paradigm shift
Winterset 5.0 stars Version: 1.0.1
I try not to be overly dramatic or effusive when writing reviews, but this is the kind of app that is going to change the way we interact with our world. The ability to instantly be an expert on you local surroundings even if you've never been in the city before turns us all into psychics. With apps like this we become one step closer to omniscient. Even better, this particular app is well built and very intuitive. No help file needed for at least the normal uses. Stunning. To use the cliche, "a bargain at twice the price."
1.0.1 Update Great!
PeachSF01 5.0 stars Version: 1.0.1
Glad this update came through. After I had updated the firmware on my 3GS the app became kind of unstable. Now it's back to being solid as a rock, and I can get back to exploring my town with ease. Word Surfer is a great app! Get it. Once you start using it you'll be hooked. It's perfect for finding just about anthing you need, or finding out about anything you are curious about. Can't wait to use this when I travel.
Bionic Vision
sustainabilly 5.0 stars Version: 1.0
This app is great! If you use a little imagination, it's like you're reaching out from your location with a sort of bionic vision. I'm finding lots of interesting things near me that I didn't know were here.
Outstanding App!!
paws4me 5.0 stars Version: 1.0
This is so totally awsome, very accurate in it's directions, more useful that I expected. This is the best app ever! Play around with it and you won't be able to be without it!
Best App I've Ever Eaten
HealthyAPPetite 5.0 stars Version: 1.0.1
I love having the freedom to "directionally filter" search results. This app is way more useful than regular mapping or search apps because you can just point your phone in the direction you want to explore. Not just for restaurants, but any location in Google or Wiki, you can find in World Surfer.
