I would also recommend AroundMe for Android, http://home.ameliemedia.com/aroundme-android/
AroundMe allows you to discover amazing places round the world via Flickr, YouTube, Wikipedia and more!
Designed for Google Android-powered devices, it is aimed at travelers and photo-enthusiasts alike.
Among other things, AroundMe displays the most interesting Flickr, Panoramio and YouTube photos and videos of places nearby your current location (or in any other locations you point your finger to!), giving you the walking or driving directions to reach each place.
AroundMe can be downloaded from the Android Market, in the Applications > Travel category.
