MP3s Are Not Just for Music Anymore...
There's a handy new use for MP3 players. 'The Virtual Tour Guide' from OmniNav, Inc., allows subscribers to download MP3 audio for a city and its sights, and listen as they go. Visitors to San Francisco, for example, can download MP3s for sights such as the Golden Gate Bridge,Golden Gate Park, Chinatown, and many others. "The Virtual Tour Guide is a way for visitors to enjoy a narrated tour, with the flexibility to discover the sights at their own pace", says Kirti Schoener,President of OmniNav, Inc.
For those of us who haven't ventured far enough into tech territory to own an MP3 player, the audio guides may also be used to create a custom CD, tailored with specific sights. The Virtual Tour Guide is available for sights in San Francisco, San Diego, Chicago, New York, and Washington, D.C., with more cities to come. A 1-year subscription costs $14.95 and allows access to MP3s for all cities offered. With a custom CD and an automobile, the entire traveling party could enjoy a fully-narrated tour of the city for under $15, instead of $30 or more per person for a conventional guide.
Finally, for those who prefer an even lower tech alternative, OmniNav,Inc. also produces an audio cassette and map guide, 'The Ultimate City Tour', for San Francisco, for $10.95. Visit www.omninav.com or call (650) 219-8029 for more information about either guide.
