Yosemite Looksee AR [iPhone]

Looksee is an augmented reality navigator used to find places of interest directly within your camera's view and add fun, knowledge and interest to your adventures and tours.

It's simple to use - you just point and go! It includes a choice of Map or Satellite Image in view and a Search function to help locate things.

Once downloaded no wi-fi or cellular network is necessary, so you can use when out and about when there is no or poor signal coverage.
