Geopedia
Geopedia is an informative travelling and research application, which connects Wikipedia with OpenStreetMap. It shows wikipedia articles (with geocoordinates) around any location on the globe. Currently there are around 100 wikipedia language editions supported, so you can use it with most of the languages out there.
This is especially useful, when your are travelling a country with no entries in your language. It easily allows you to switch to the local language edition to identify important spots. It also can be used to compare wikipedia entries between different editions.
All queries are sent in realtime to the wikipedia databases - no proxies used.

It's interesting. Marries OpenMaps with Wikipedia. It does *not* store anything for offline use, no matter what the Play store tells you. There's no settings available, BTW. I highly suggest looking at the Hints tab (under the "hamburger" menu).

Removing the "nearby" feature in Wikipedia due to low use was a feeble excuse. Thankfully this app does it better anyway.

nice and usefull app :)
A brilliantly simple concept, superbly executed. Great to discover your own city, as well as any dense and rich place you go to. One of the most ingenious apps I have on my phone and one that deserves a far bigger audience.
