• Using the app is simple. It triggers audio by GPS, and will play automatically as you pass various locations.

• Just plug in your earphones and go for a stroll in the park. Sooner or later Sam, Linda, Johnny, or Iris will show up and start whispering in your ear. Of course, theyre not real - theyre fictional. But your phone - thanks to its built-in GPS, knows exactly where they are - and where you are - and it will introduce you automatically.

• You can keep to one particular characters route on the map, or you can just stroll about and see which one turns up. Park yourself on a bench, and hear what theyre doing - right there - where you are. Or walk on, and find out what fate has in store for them... further along the path.
