Where To? - GPS points of interest reviewed by Users
Pretty interface but kind of a rip-off When I purchased this application I figured it accessed some sort of unique database or pulled information from other sources and presented it in a useful combined way, but all it actually does is act as a front end for the iPhone's built-in Google Maps app -- e.g., searching for nearby ATMs just launches Google Maps with "ATM" entered into the search field. That's literally all this app does -- it feeds queries into Google Maps. If you're too lazy to type a few words into Google Maps yourself, then this app is for you. Otherwise it's completely redundant and useless. - Where To? - GPS points of interest review by James Baxter
Very Simply, Very Convenient, Definitely worth 3 Bucks. The reviewers complaining about this app just being a frontend to Google Maps are abosolutely right, but it's great! It basically adds the same type of categorized search feature found on stand-alone GPS devices. Personally I'd rather type the screen twice to kick-off a restaurant search while I'm driving than typing in the right words to the search bar -- critical if using while driving. I guess they could market this a little better so people know what they are getting and are not disappointed by the simplicity, but c'mon, it costs less than a Happy Meal, and adds a feature critical to every GPS device sold in the past 5 years... Well worth it. - Where To? - GPS points of interest review by tim949
Save your money, NOT worth it.. It does nothing that you couldn't do yourself using the iPhone's map function.Useless... - Where To? - GPS points of interest review by lvtalon
Worth the price and very handy! I was hesitant to buy this but I am so glad I did. Works on ANY iPhone and uses GPS to give you the nearest locations of whatever you want to look for! An American cuisine w/ Chinese flair? Done. Icelandic restaurants in Dallas? Done. It's worth it! - Where To? - GPS points of interest review by JeffMcCord
Helpful I love the "Surprise Me!" function. Great when you can't decide where to get something to eat. - Where To? - GPS points of interest review by Alexander Repty
Saves time, gives ideas This little app will give Google Maps the perfect query for Frech cuisine or autorepair, and will give you unexpected shopping, dining and entertainment ideas. Totally worth $3. - Where To? - GPS points of interest review by Milan Iliev
I love it, shockingly handy I live in a new city and this little app saves me... I use it 10 times a day to find everything I'm looking for as close to my location as possible. It's a seriously good deal at $2.99. Sure, I could go to Google Maps and dig around but this saves taps and time. Very useful. - Where To? - GPS points of interest review by Mrs.DeepBlue
It's either for you or it's not This is a great app as it speeds up the process of finding places near you in Google Maps (especially when driving), do I wish it had more features? Sure, and I'm sure they'll come down the pipeline, i.e. saving specific places as favorites, etc. but it does a good job at inputing various types of places, for example - if you look for sandwich shops, it'll plug in Sandwich OR sandwiches OR sub OR "submarine sandwich" into Google Maps giving you more hits. The only time it fails is when Google Maps doesn't have info on the specific place (i.e. a new location for a Jimmy John's)- but that's not Where To?'s fault. - Where To? - GPS points of interest review by soundboy64
wonderful Before this app, I spent 15 minutes in a car typing "Italian kingston ny" fighting the auto spell checker and map cache memory looking for a place to eat. I gave up and used a hard line instead. Now, a few clicks and I'm there. Worth the three bucks. - Where To? - GPS points of interest review by hbutz.com
Great program Well worth the money. Whatever you want to find is instantly at your fingertips. - Where To? - GPS points of interest review by Bohicaranch
Awesome Application Its just a nice quick way to filter things around you. I used it at least 7 times yesturday...lol not bad - Where To? - GPS points of interest review by solid_wolverine
Seems overhyped I was really looking forward to this app. But all it does is categorize search terms for Google Maps and then call Maps for all the hard work. I would prefer if it gave me a list in the app.
It's all flash, little substance. Worth a dollar. No more. - Where To? - GPS points of interest review by HobbitFootAussie
Smart & Beautiful Love it. Great tool. $2.99 for convenience it's nothing. I was looking for appliances store in my area. It found more that I knew about. EVERY iPHONE USER SHOULD HAVE IT! Fast and pretty. - Where To? - GPS points of interest review by Hamara
does what it says This application is stated as being a "Quick way to find points of interest around you." That is what it does and in my opinion does very well. Integrating with google instead of having it's own system is a plus to me as you don't have to use a 3rd party system that you have to rely on developer to update.Technically you shouldn't be operating a phone while driving but in the event I'm in need to find something while on the go whether as a driver, passenger or just on foot it takes a lot less effort and focus to operate this application as opposed to the google app. I specifically like the favorites section where you can save points of interest that you search for a lot.One thing I would like to see is when you search for something say "gas station." Instead of taking you directly to the google maps page with all the red dots it showed a list of the results. In some small areas it may be 20 or more of what you're looking for. Unless you zoom in it can be hard to click between the places, especially on the go. As this is about speeding things up that would help a lot. Although I'm not sure if this can be implemented as program would have to do a bit more then just send a query to google and they may not allow that. - Where To? - GPS points of interest review by Mikenificent.net
I like it! It gives you a very handy list of shortcuts into google maps. I like the interface and it works well!! - Where To? - GPS points of interest review by Jse75
Seems convenient, but not very specific The first search I did was under "Food & Drink"– "Hamburger", and it found three locations near me: A lawyers office, a financial building and a doctor's office! Wimpy would be devastated..... =( The second search I did was under "Attractions"-"Aquariums", and it found several locations, most of them fish stores..... (sigh..)Plus, there's no way to go directly back from Maps to "Where To". Might come in handy, but not really worth the money. - Where To? - GPS points of interest review by karnieopt
Meh Too bad businesses don't list themselves. Near useless here in Princeton NJ. Nice concept, very little data. - Where To? - GPS points of interest review by Jtsnyc
Where to A useful maps tool that saves me from typing and give lots of search ideas. - Where To? - GPS points of interest review by Bolink
Why? Waste of money.... This app should be free... All it's doing it typing for me.. I could type in my searches myself... And it's search results are pathetic... This app needs more work - Where To? - GPS points of interest review by everyends
Don't buy Dont buy.....we are in San luis obispo looking to go to big sur lighthouse. This app found it however it guided us to a mens prison right off the 1 fwy. What where very upset. This is not a joke. We where taken straight to a prison to our surprise. - Where To? - GPS points of interest review by clickmates
