Wikipedia has launched a mobile version of its Nearby page. The feature helps users look up articles associated with their location, including historic sites, parks, museums, theaters, bridges, schools and religious buildings, as well as historic figures tied to the location.
In the browser of your choice (desktops included), you can bring up the Nearby page from the Wikipedia menu bar located on the top left-hand side of the page. Once it's selected, Wikipedia will ask to use your location and then look up all the articles associated with those coordinates. You are also encouraged to submit photos for any articles that are missing an image as long as you're logged in with an account.
