On The Road vs Detour

Listen to what On The Road has to tell you about nearby attractions while you walk or drive around. It takes its content from Wikipedia and reads it out loud so you don't have to look at the display. Features: - Different languages (English, German, French). - In Germany the app hightlights the famous brown signs on autobahns as well. - Fast, normal and slow speak rates. - Distance to attraction (in metric or imperial units). - Dark and light design. - Image of location (can be turned off to save mobile bandwidth). - Different profiles for driving by car, train or walking. Can be customized. - The app keeps a history list of all the attractions you have seen. So later on you can open the corresponding Wikipedia articles to read more, listen to it again or open it on the map. - Open map at location of current attraction (for direct navigation) - Choose between only important (default) of all attractions - send the current attraction or the history list by e-mail
