NearbyWiki: The Mutant Mashup of Google Maps and Wikipedia

• A new tool called NearbyWiki combines Google Maps and Wikipedia to provide location-based information.
• The tool shows Wikipedia entries for physical locations in your current area or any other area you want.
• Users can see a map of their current area with special 'W' pins indicating every location around them with a Wikipedia entry.
• Clicking or tapping on any 'W' pin summons a pop-up with Wikipedia-provided info about the place.
• NearbyWiki is completely browser-based, free to use, and doesn't require any sign-ins or personal info.
