Wikipedia is everyones favourite Encyclopedia and Dictionary. Now - with WikiLocal - it can also be our favorite Atlas and vacation tour guide!
That’s because many Wikipedia articles have an associated location. Some obvious examples are articles about a city, a region or a tourist sight. But Wikipedia articles about historic events, natural disasters, animal habitats and interesting discoveries all tend to also have a defined location.
The WikiLocal App makes it easy for you to position all those Wikipedia articles on a Map, or to immediately see the nearest Wikipedia entries to your current location. That makes it a great tool when planning your next vacation, navigating to places of interest or just exploring your local area.
• View Wikipedia articles in your vicinity, or anywhere in the world.
• Preview the articles, or open them fully in the Wikipedia App.
• View a list of the nearest Wikipedia Articles to your current GPS location.
• Maintain a list of your favorite Wikipedia Articles for immediate access.
The companion Apple Watch App does not include a Map, but provides an ultra-convenient way to quickly search for the nearest Wikipedia articles to your current GPS location.
