Where To? – Discover your next destination using GPS (by FutureTap) is an easy way to discover and find your way to destinations using this iPhone Travel app, which features 700 customizable categories, a built-in map and web browser, Augmented Reality, as wells as the ability to rate and share just about everything. I have to make a confession, I have had this app on my iPhone since 12/09 when it first came out. While I hate to admit that I have not used it nearly enough, after checking it out again I can tell you that this is now be my “goto” app for finding all locations from restaurants to hospitals in my own backyard, and even when I am traveling. Google is the main app that I use to find stuff, but unfortunately Google does not come close to providing the same wealth of information when searching for restaurants, entertainment, shopping or any other destination you want to find like this app does.
This app has received a major update that took it from an award-winning app (2008, 2009 and 2010 Best App Ever Awards in the category “Best Travel App”) to an even better Travel app that is still actually user friendly. The app has only 3 navigational tabs at the bottom, that even Mrs. CrazyMike can figure out how to navigate (Favorites, Categories and Recents). Categories displays a circle of categories that you can tap into to access hundreds of sub-categories. There are also more than 2,200 brands that can be accessed, so if you’re a Starbucks elitest (just kidding) you can find those locations with a few taps of your finger for wherever you are. The new update has added a very utilitarian feature by adding Favorites. The Favorites allows for customizing your categories for quicker access to those locations, services, restaurants, police stations, and etc. that you want or need to find. There are now Favorite Places that can be “starred” when in any place for later retrieval. The Favorite Places are for the pizza place you call each week or the pharmacy that you get your family medications from, all of which can be added into your contacts or just nicely tucked away inside this app. The new update also brought a bunch of tweaks to the user interface with too many excellent features to list, but here are a few: use Google Earth to see any place, TomTom, Navigon, VZ Nagigator and numerous other location services to find your way with turn-by-turn directions, VoiceOver got a facelift, iCloud syncing, and improved Augmented Reality when using this feature — not to mention much more.
Where to? – Discover your next destination using GPS may seem a bit high-priced to some at $2.99, but it will make your life much, much easier, especially when you are out of town. This app is probably the best location finding app in the iTunes App Store and definitely worth the price. During my testing I found the app to be ultra fast, very user friendly, the Augmented Reality was spot on and the results were relevant — both near my home and while I was away on travel. If you want to find hospitals, shoe shops, batting cages, dental offices, or just about any other place, this app will help you find it, get there, let you share it, read reviews about it, rate it and a whole bunch more.
