Google released a new app called Field Trip this week. Working in the background of your Android, the app has cards that pop up on your phone’s screen when it thinks you’re around something interesting. For instance, if you walk by a building downtown, a card might pop up that explains its history. Or, if you’re near a popular restaurant, a card might let you know that there’s tasty food to be eaten inside.
