Scenic Route is a mobile web application and online community for location-based knowledge sharing and discovery.The mobile website that builds customized routes for urban walks.

At the end of your walk, you've explored new streets and uncovered a unique set of local knowledge through a fun, spontaneous activity that fits into the available moments of your day.On the contributor side, Scenic Route is almost like blogger for location-based media: a platform for self-publication. You're able to get direct feedback from walkers who come across your information via notes and "favorites".A fantastic article about Scenic Route appeared in the SF Chronicle (Streets give up secrets on Scenic Route app :: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2009/10/12/DDRN1A3LAO.DTL)* http://scenicroute.info/
