WonderWalk

🐚 PILGRIM EDITION — LAUNCH OFFER
I'm walking the Camino de Santiago for about four months, so there won't be any updates during that time. That's why WonderWalk launches at a special reduced price now. When I'm back, I'll fix every reported bug and keep building. Buen Camino! 🥾

WonderWalk turns every walk into a journey of discovery. The app automatically recognizes interesting places around you and lets the Google Gemini AI tell you their story – fully automatic if you like, step by step, without looking at your phone.

🚶 JUST SET OFF – AUTO MODE
Headphones in, tap the hiker icon, pocket your phone. WonderWalk greets you to suit the time of day and announces sights near you all by itself – with compass direction and the full AI description. Every place is announced only once, and the service keeps running even when the screen is locked.

🗺️ FIND PLACES AUTOMATICALLY
The app searches an adjustable radius (50 m to 2 km) for sights, churches, monuments, museums, viewpoints, towers and much more – straight from OpenStreetMap. Even vanished places from OpenHistoricalMap are included.

🤖 VIVID AI EXPLANATIONS
For every place, WonderWalk loads Wikipedia articles (preferably in your language), Wikidata data and a photo and passes everything to Gemini. You set the perspective yourself: Historian, Architect, Naturalist, Traveler, Family guide, City explorer – or a Storyteller for place-bound short stories. Every style is freely customizable.

🌍 AREA ANNOUNCEMENTS & AMBIENT SOUNDSCAPES
When you enter a new city, a national park or a region, WonderWalk tells you about it. Each announcement is accompanied by fitting background sounds from Wikimedia Commons – birdsong in the park, bells at the cathedral, flowing water by the river.

🎧 READ ALOUD & CONTROL
Every AI answer is read aloud to you, pausing and resuming possible at any time – including via headphone buttons.

📸 CONTRIBUTE YOUR OWN PHOTOS & SOUNDS
Take a photo and ask the AI about it directly. If an image for a place is missing, you can upload it to Wikimedia Commons in a few steps – including an AI-generated description. Audio recordings can be contributed too and serve other users as an ambient soundscape.
