Travelers who own an iPhone and will be visiting the US capital  for the first time might find some use for GeoNova's Discovery Guide Map Washington DC.

Now while Google Maps is also a very handy application for the iPhone, the Discovery Guide goes beyond just pinpointing your exact location, it also shows you the must-see attractions in town. The locations are hot-linked to their respective websites so users can instantly gain access to information about that attraction/place.

Wow. Give it a few years time and Guide books/travel books will probably be obsolete because of more and more interactive features being introduced to GPS capable devices. The App is available for $1.99 at the iTunes App store.
