ARIZONA HIKING PARTNERS WITH GOOGLE FIELD TRIP APP

Arizona Hiking.blogspot has been selected to partner with Google
Field Trip---an augmented reality app for smartphones and Google Glass. Driven by GPS technology (and a bunch
of tech wizards) the Field Trip app runs in the background of your devise and
notifies you when you're approaching something of interest. A "card"
will display with details about the site and if you have Bluetooth, the content
can be "read" to you. With Field Trip, you can customize your feeds to
learn about everything from where to eat, local history, shopping, cultural
venues, and now where to hike in Arizona!
For instance, if you're sitting in a coffee shop wondering if there's a
hiking trail nearby, the Field
Trip app will notify you automatically and my copy, photos, directions and map
will appear before you---like magic.
Arizona Hiking joins contributors like Food Network, Sunset,
Atlas Obscura, Songkick and other hyperlocal-to-national experts to enrich your travel experiences. I am very excited to be a part of this
product and hope you'll love it too.
And, please---let me know if there's a trail you would like to see added.Many Arizona Hiking
destinations are already in the app, and I continue to prep content
for additional trails on a regular basis. And, of course, this blog isn't going away---I'll keep posting hikes here as usual.
