Load it on any device that knows where it is and it drops every nearby Wikipedia entry onto a map. Ordinary streets turn out to be full of footnotes — the bridge has a name, the building used to be something else entirely. Works just as well pointed at somewhere you're about to travel as at the street you live on.
