GPS tourism comes to Montgomery, Alabama

GPS-linked tours seem to be all the rage right now, at least in Japan, but we're starting to see them crop up elsewhere, including Montgomery,
Alabama, where local developer IntelliTours has hooked up a system using buses and trolleys operated by the Montgomery Area Transit System. According to IntelliTours, the system highlights 45 historical locations, including Civil Rights and Civil War sites, with audio narration coming online automatically as the vehicles enter specific regions. Sounds great, and we expect to see a lot more of this in other cities, though we'll miss those underpaid and underinformed young tour guides who provide unexpected insights by making it up as they go along.
