## What is POIs4U?

POIs4U is your curious co-driver. The app highlights interesting places nearby and reads concise Wikipedia descriptions aloud so your eyes stay on the road.

**Key features**
• Live map with category-colored markers and adjustable search radius (100 m–10 km)
• Auto-announce POIs by distance with queueing by importance
• Wikipedia/Wikidata descriptions with lazy loading for deeper detail on demand
• Text-to-speech with voice selection; works even when the device is muted
• Offline-safe UI: bannered network errors with retry and dismissal
• In-app article view for full Wikipedia pages
• History of announced POIs and list view with instant read-aloud
• Category filters (10 types) and language selection
• Keep-screen-on option for long drives

**Designed for safety**
Built audio-first: start driving, let POIs surface automatically, and listen. Visual aids (search circle, direction at o’clock format, distance rounding) keep the screen glanceable.

**Great for** commuters rediscovering their route, travelers exploring new cities, families learning together, and anyone curious about their surroundings.

**Data & privacy**
Uses your location only to find nearby POIs. No account, no tracking, no route storage. Content from Wikipedia/Wikidata (CC BY-SA 4.0); maps by Apple Maps.

**How to use**
1) Open the app and allow location access
2) Enable auto speech (speaker icon)
3) Drive—POIs are detected and announced
4) Tap a marker or list item for more details or immediate read-aloud
