Connecting a Lonely Planet
World travelers unite! Nokia and Lonely Planet have teamed up to offer guides to more than 100 tourist destinations around the globe -- for download directly to your mobile phone!
This is great news for all you seat-of-your pants travelers who make the rest of us jealous when you hop over the pond to London or Rome for a long weekend. The maps are available for download directly onto Nokia phones for a fee of $11.75, according to AP.
Many will argue that this is more subtle than painting a tourist bulls-eye on your back with a guidebook and fold-out map and I agree -- but I'd never traverse Europe again without Rick Steves -- seriously, the guy knows how to write a guidebook!
