New travel app tells you what’

Perpetual window seat sitters usually do it for one of two reasons.

  1. It’s so much easier to sleep next to the window
  2. They’re curious beings and like to peer out from miles high, pondering the lives and existence of those below.

If you fall into the group of people who are in number two, there’s a new app that will make traveling a whole lot more interesting.

The Telegraph reports that Flyover Country, which is available to buy in the app store now, but is still being developed, will also find relevant Wikipedia articles for users so that they can better understand what exactly is beneath them at any given moment.

Maps and data from a variety of geological and paleontological databases offer info on what’s down below. Users can see features tagged on a map that correspond to different locations on the ground.

And don’t worry, you don’t need to be on a flight with in-flight wifi to use it. The app uses cached maps offline after the user has input their desired flight path.
