The application is called "Next", because it lists all interesting locations AND persons next to your actual position. There are four important unique features.
1. The locations you get are not just listed by distance, they are also ranked by their popularity, so you are able to see the located highlights around you with one single click.
2. You can also get the encyclopedic information about the important persons, who are referenced to the listed locations. These persons are not just ranked by their general importance, but also by their specific relevance to the selected location.
3. The application has a quick-info, telling you why a person is referenced to a location.
4. Beside tracking your common locations, you have the possibility to search easily other locations all around the world. Right now there are more than 96.000 locations (cities, districts or villages) stored.
