SANTA CLARA, CA, April 17, 2009
/24-7PressRelease/ -- Lost to the outside world for centuries, the exotic stone temples of Cambodia's Angkor Wat Archaeological Park inspire travelers with their massive facades covered in delicate carvings and draped in jungle growth. To help travelers who are short on time learn about the amazing empire and people who built these religious buildings, Geogad has just released its new tour of the Angkor Archaeological Park. The easy-to-use tour is packed with audio and images that provide in-depth information on the history and culture of the Khmer Empire, the kings who ruled it, the lives of the ordinary people who built it and its eventual fall and discovery by European explorers. Details of ancient and modern Cambodia life and culture are part of the tour and give travelers a better understanding of what happen to those people left behind when the Khmer Empire fell and how the actions of Western powers continue to influence the lives of Cambodia's today. Included within the tour itself are maps and directions to aid travelers on their explorations so additional guides are not required. Geogad's Mobile Tour of Cambodia's Angkor Wat is almost two hours long, but the actual exploration of the park itself can take a few days.
This new Geogad Mobile Tour is like an always-on, easy-to-understand tour guide. This detailed self-guided tour can be stopped and started whenever it is convenient for the traveler and can be downloaded or streamed to the mobile electronic devices that the traveler is already carrying. With its almost two hours of detailed content, Geogad has already done the research on Angkor Wat. Its tour provides the type of information that a visitor desires on the park but without having to spend time reading travel guides. The traveler has four different options on how to take this free tour including streamed over the Internet via Flash, uploaded onto an iPod or other mobile media player, downloaded as clips to mobile phones through the phone's built-in mobile web browser or through the Geogad's GPS-aware application that runs on all Google Android-enabled mobile phones.
