There's a wonderful FREE iPhone app that I put on my partner's phone called 'AroundMe'. We use it all the time because it works so simply, yet
well. Prefer it to GPS.
What it does is present a list of
services: petrol stations, doctors, coffee shops,
parking stations etc. When you click on a category it uses Google to locate those
services closest to you in distance order.
Click on a particular service and it shows address, description and phone number. Click on the phone number and it dials it. Click on "Location" to see where it is on a map. Click on "Directions" to show the route on a map with turn by turn instructions. Simple, effective, Brilliant.

Some of you blokes are hard to impress.
I reckon the iPhone is the greatest gadget of all time. The number of different apps available is phenomenal. Not all of them are essential for life, but hey, for a $1.19 you can play around with a new app that can vary from dull and boring calendar/scheduling to photographic to audio/music/video.
I have 71 apps loaded. Some are crap, but who cares. Some are brilliant- like Shazam which listens to a slice of music and then identifies it. Or iHud which sits on the dash board and reflects speed etc onto your windscreen. Google Earth, Skype, radio tuners, satellite trackers... The variety is endless.
Not only that , you can ring people up.
A billion app downloads achieved this week!
