Google Thursday launched an app called Field Trip, “your guide to the cool, hidden, and unique things in the world around you.”

Working in the background on your Android phone, the app pops up a card on your handset when it thinks you’re around something interesting. A map view within the app can also help you seek out locations around you on your own.

This thing is pretty neat. I just installed it and it says there are four nearby (within 582 feet to 0.3 miles in this case) historical markers. Did not know there were four around here.
