Yonder: Every mile has a story
Yonder rides shotgun and narrates: the mountain you just passed, the ghost town two exits down. It pulls from Wikipedia, OpenStreetMap, and GeoNames, and it talks.
A GPS tour guide that narrates the places you pass, like a well-read friend in the passenger seat who never gets carsick.

What Yonder does.
Tour Mode
Or let it decide. Tour Mode reads your heading and speed and waits for the moment a story is actually useful.
Yonders
Places worth keeping become Yonders. Group them into journeys, or let the trip history pile up.
Sources with names
Answers cite Wikipedia, OpenStreetMap, and GeoNames. Travel-blog filler is not on the reading list.
Voice playback
Turn on the voice and it reads aloud. Hands free, eyes on the road.
FAQ
Common questions.
The full pitch lives on the app’s own site. These are the basics.
What is Yonder?
A GPS tour guide. It tells you what is interesting about the places you drive through, while you are driving through them.
What can I ask?
What you can see: a mountain, a landmark, a weird roadside thing. Also local history and why a place matters.
Does Yonder replace navigation?
No. Yonder is for the stories. Use a navigation app to get there.
What data does it use?
Your location and heading, plus public place data. That is how it knows the mountain from the rest area.
