Whitby Abbey and several other English Heritage sites that kind of audio tour.
However this device was too complex for my Gran (she can use a telephone ... omg can she use a telephone..... talk.....talk..........), but she couldn't get this gadget thing to work for her. And Partially sighted / blind visitors would have difficulty with the number on sign interface.
A device that knows where you are and can thus be set up to just play when you are in the right place is a much better idea (a great idea). (It can obviously do much cleverer things too).
Also One of the major let downs with such places is often the fixed schedule of audio/visual presentations (I always walk in just about half way through.. too late to have a clue what its on about to early to stand about for the next one) If you are carrying your own media player then there is no need to wait for a simple information film.
The GPS is of course great but does it also have a digital compass so it can tell which way you are looking (just to mke it idiot proof).
