Came across this interesting feature the other day in the Boston Globe and thought I would pass it on. Sure there are businesses doing this kind of stuff, but I thought that it was unusual for a local newspaper to offer an audio guided road tour via GPS.

The tour covers some of the north shore of Massachusetts, and can be downloaded to a Garmin or a TomTom as long as they have the ability to playback the audio (Most TomTom’s and Garmin’s with MP3 capability). The tour takes you on a navigation trip through several seaside towns along the north shore offering a little history lesson as you go.

The tour is actually hosted by Geovative solutions, which offers numerous tours around the globe for GPS units. They offer the ability for you to create your own tour, upload it and share it with the world; all for free. They also offer premium content for a fee, sometimes only a $1.99.
