Georeader - Cell phone app - Talking Points for historical markers, places, and people

GeoReader

There is a new app for cell phones that has great potential for historical preservation

and historical tourism. Georeader uses the GPS on your phone to allow you to place a

talking point tied to the GPS location. You merely visit the location and to add the

talking point you type into your phone a brief message concerning information,

historical interests, whatever you wish.

Anyone with the Georeader app on their phone will hear the talking point - it will be

read aloud via their phone.

I see that several talking points have been added in Milam County so far. The I&GN

Railroad in Rockdale has been added, along with Hope Lutheran Church in Buckholts,

William Persky Historical Marker and Sharp Presbyterian Church in Sharp, Massilon Farley

Historical Marker and St Monica's Catholic Church in Cameron among others.

The app is free to download and use. At some point they may charge for the app but they

have advised they will 'grandfather' anyone joining now so they will not be charged in

the future.

and

This app is available to Android phones now - It will soon be available for Apple

Iphones.

The app is easy to download and install on your phone.

Please advise if you add any talking points and we will track them on this site

When adding sites, please ensure that you mark the correct location.
