City tourism and convention officials unveiled the Find Your Philly mobile application Monday at the Independence Visitor Center.

Find Your Philly on cutting-edge SCVNGR (pronounced scavenger) technology features five high-tech "tours," or treks, for exploring the city's arts, sciences, history and culture, as well as the expanding Convention Center.

Philadelphia becomes the first city in the world to use the application that can be downloaded on iPhone and Android and also playable through SMS enabled devices.

"It's so exciting to be the first to launch this," Mayor Nutter said at the unveiling on Monday. "We're No. 1 in this technology, and it will only grow."  - Suzette Parmley
