Android app, "Places Directory" listing places

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

Android app, "Places directory"

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.
