WhereMark, has just launched their augmented reality application for the iPhone 3Gs in the iPhone App Store free of charge. WhereMark seems similar to other location layer type AR apps such as the Layar browser and Wikitude. What appears to make it more interesting is the fact that you can place your own POI and WhereMark will store that information for future use.

What would really make this application standout if it can be that application that bridges the AR location based apps together with the geo-tagging social network apps such as Foursquare and Gowalla. In anycase, for a free download it is worth a test and use.

WhereMark is a practical application designed to enhance the way users experience their environment in everyday situations. WhereMark will find users their next meal, get them to the nearest subway, lead them to a museum and remember where their cars are parked. Users can even create their own augmented reality by saving wheremarks that will help them remember a new nightspot or a favorite place in the park. The Visor displays wheremarks floating over reality; simply tap the wheremark for more details, such as address or phone number.
