This is a bot that will provide you more information about a certain city, landmark or region. It returns place's description and several useful links.
Ever wanted to know more about location where the picture was taken? Maybe open up a map or discover interesting things nearby? Or find hike ideas on this location?
How is this bot better than Googling things:
- On mobile: You dont have to switch between apps
- Google is not indexing content from Instagram and Facebook, meaning you wont find such content by googling it
- We will eventually be able to search all reddit posts by their location.
Tag user u/LocationInfoBot with the name of the location. This will also work for hills, landmarks and regions.
u/LocationInfoBot <city_name>
