The big iPhone buzz from the last few days has been all about the free app that Web 2.0 darling TripIt just published. TripIt takes every aspect of your itinerary - flights, hotels, cars, attractions, etc - and organizes them into something approaching coherence.
Their app takes the resources that TripIt normally makes available - phone numbers, maps, weather reports - and links them to the iPhone. In addition to being pretty awesome on its own, it makes a lot of other unitasking travel apps redundant. Which won't stop the Top 5 lists, but still.
While TripIt is excellent about telling you where you are going, it's pretty much useless for telling you where you should be going. For that you might want to avail yourself of GeoNova Publishing's Discover Guide Map. There are maps for ten major US cities, including New York, DC, and Vegas. The app locates you, maps out all the nearby landmarks and attractions, and even hotlinks them to web resources. See? Cheating.
