## What is Placecast?

The world is full of stories. Placecast helps you hear them at the right moment.

Discover verified landmarks around you, then listen to grounded, spoken stories as you walk, explore, or drive. Search by place when you are planning ahead, or use Drive mode to find stories along your route.

FEATURES
- Explore places nearby with a map and distance-aware results
- Listen to concise stories about landmarks, museums, monuments, and more
- Start Drive mode for sightline-aware story suggestions
- Ask before playback, every time
- Save stories and revisit your listening history
- Plan routes and keep audio available for offline travel
- Switch narration language when available
- Open the sources behind each story

Placecast is a travel companion, not a navigation service. Keep your attention on the road and follow local laws while driving.
