Take the GPSmyCity quiz and win 3 iPhone city apps…
The guys at GPSmyCity.com contacted me to see if anyone here wanted to try their hand at winning three city walk iPhone apps. I’m planning on a bit of traveling, so they’ve sent over a handful to try out: Seattle, Naples, and here in Bangkok. As you know, Bangkok is a huge city so they obviously can’t show everything, but they do give you a taste.
