In this era of socially distant road trips and almost exclusively domestic travel, an app to enrich the road trip experience by using location-based technology to our advantage is a welcome development.
“A journey of 1,000 miles begins with a single download,” promises HearHere, a mobile app that was recently created to make road trips all the more interesting. The app launched with 1,500 audio recordings on its platform, sound bites that tell the story of a region or a locale with insight into historical landmarks, homes, and more—all tied to your precise location, so as you drive, the scenery around you comes alive with insights you might have never thought to research otherwise. Simply turn on your location and you’ll get a notification when you’re near a point of interest with a relevant story.
