Dopplr, an online service for smart travel, today announced the launch of Dopplr—The Social Atlas, a free iPhone application available at the Apple App Store.
Wherever you are, you can use it to find nearby recommended places to eat, stay and explore. If you make new discoveries of your own, you can add them to the Social Atlas with a few taps of your finger. Every new addition helps to expand the Social Atlas, which is starting small but growing rapidly with the input from Dopplr travellers using their mobile devices, says Marko Ahtisaari, Dopplr CEO.
You don’t even need an account at Dopplr.com to use the app. The built-in directory of city tips and advice works for everyone. But if you do have a Dopplr account, the application offers a social location-based experience. You can keep in touch with your fellow travelers, find out what city and time zone they are in, and what future trips they have planned. You can view your own planned trips, and find co-incidences when fellow travellers will be nearby. You can even contact them directly from inside the app.
