New media in its various forms, including social networking, virtual reality, augmented or mixed reality, wikis, dynamic data, online communities and geo-tagging among others, have now been in use for more than a decade. While these various forms of new media hold tremendous opportunities for application to the interpretation of natural and cultural

landscapes to the public, those with particular promise are applications that link informational content to specific physical locations. These falls into two types: locative media and augmented reality.

The use and potential impacts of this technology, particularly with respect to diffuse resources such as heritage corridors and cultural landscapes, has yet to be fully explored. Landscape interpretation, particularly cultural landscapes which are difficult to make understandable to the public, show particular promise for this technology. Given

the potential that this tool holds, a review of its current applications is overdue. This paper reviews a series of twenty-one projects around the world, analyzing the strengths, weaknesses, and hurdles to implementation of this developing technology.
