Triposo launches FREE travel guides for web, iOS and Android

Two ex-Googlers – Jon Tirsen and Douwe Osinga – officially unveiled the new mobile travel guide Triposo, which aggregates all the information that is freely available from seven different sources, including Wikitravel, Wikipedia, World66 and Openstreetmap.

Thus, the Triposo algorithm takes travel information from seven of the biggest open source aggregators (and several closed resources as well) and serves its users with content that’s relevant for them. The guides provide information on sightseeing, nightlife and restaurants, all ordered by Triposo’s algorithm — and complete with an easy-to-use (and offline-enabled) map. That very offline functionality in and of itself makes Triposo’s free mobile apps worth downloading.

Along with its web app, Triposo also offers 30 free destination guides for iOS using the same approach. The startup plans to release an iOS world guide, in which users can download a complete travel guide for any destination in the world, next month. Android users, on the other hand, can already find a world travel guide and guides for select cities here.
