Fuck this country-limited shit... honestly!
Yeah! If they can't release it in every country in the world, they should never release it!

#13I'm still a little confused about the actual product. Does it use GPS data to show information about surrounding landmarks? Or something else/more?

#14It says it's by NianticLabs@Google. Any more information about what The Niantic Project is? Their website doesn't say much: http://www.nianticproject.com/

AFAIK Niantic is a internal google "startup", from what I've heard their real product/project (that I haven't seen) will be released soon-ish.

Like Google Now it uses your location to display a variety to things; Some are historical landmarks others are upcoming concerts or movie locations. You choose in what frequency the app notifies you. For example, I was walking from work to home and Field Trip notified me of where a scene for Oceans 11 was shot.

Do you truly not understand why a developer creating a location-based discovery app - an app that will be judged mostly on the quality its location-based content - might need to launch in limited locations to start? Does this really need to be explained to you?
