We mostly get into a situation were, the nearest ATM, Bank, Bar, Gas station and much more are not known in a new place. Few members from Google Mobile decided to address this using 20% of their time. This resulted in “Places Directory” a new Android App.
This application uses the GPS data (for your current location) and Google Maps, to find the places near by. The places fall under 11 categories. They are,
- Attractions
- Banks
- Bars
- Coffee
- Gas Stations
- Hotels
- Medical
- Movie Theaters
- Parking Restaurants
- Shopping
- Taxis
The resultant places are shown with distance, direction, ratings, pictures, reviews and contact information. The direction arrows point to the direction of the place, which is one cool feature.
