Abstract
A pager and two-way paging system may be provided which allow the pager user to send a request for tourist information. The system identifies the general location of the pager user and compiles tourist information such as historical data or trivia about the area which is transmitted to the pager user. The transmissions may take the pager user on a walking tour of the area. The pager may also include a language cartridge for translating the tourist information into another language. The pager may also include a map cartridge with which the pager can display a map of the immediate vicinity for the pager user.
