“access to a comprehensive city database—provided with each purchase—”

Bah! You have to purchase access to their travel tips. WikiTravel is a better, more open, source of tips from the locals. There’s some map mashing innovation going on with wikitravel <–> OpenStreetMap too. But it could be interesting to develop that in the direction of touristy fuzzy more “artistic” map images.
