MapsBuddy - a must have companion to the Maps application on your iPhone!
Imagine you are driving (or just hanging out with your friends). To locate the nearest coffee shop (or any such location), you would usually launch Maps, tap the current location button and then type "coffee shop" - that's too many things to do, not quick and definitely not very convenient!!
Instead use MapsBuddy!! Just launch MapsBuddy and tap on "Coffee Shop" - that will automatically locate and show all coffee shops near your current location on the map. Locate all your favorite places with one tap without the hassle of typing!!
----------- Features -----------
Automatically determines your current location.
With one click locate the nearest bank, bar, chinese restaurant or any such location.
Comes with a built in list of common locations such as "coffee ship", "gas station", "hotel", "pharmacy", etc.
Customize the location list to suit your needs. You can add your own location names or modify/remove/hide the built in location list.
Organize locations into categories such as Food & Dining, Entertainment, Transportation etc.
Works worldwide with iPhone.
Works with iPodTouch using Wi-Fi in metropolitan areas of US, Europe and Japan using Apple's built-in SkyHook technology.
Recommended for fans of iBeer, LightBike, Wobble, Blocked, Distant Shore, iShoot, Monopoly, Bejeweled, iFitness, iSniper, Tetris, PocketGuitar, iCopter, iFart, Ocarina, Koi Pond, Pull my finger & FieldRunners.

Any one that ever uses Google Maps should have this!
This is what I have been waiting for!

Useful Very helpful...only suggestion is to add a tab for different routes available as the route chosen by this app I'd not always the quickest.

iPhone Map can do the same Just downloaded the app and realized that the map on iPhone can do the same thing. Actually better, picks up more up-to-date locations, and in flexible search area. Just wasted $0.99...

So close to excelent Right now I would give this app a B+. Wish there was a feature that allowed us to specify a distance from our location so we could expand the search to vendors we are willing to travel to.

Having fun with this app. The only prob I've found is it's data base needs updating. The only business shown in the large shopping center near us is the theater. The shopping center has been open since last summer.

Waste of MONEY! Wow, I totally got my money sucked from this one. All this app does it shows some cattegories of search options. So if you click "Coffee" it will open google maps and show nearest coffee shops. It's an okay little thing if u want to look for one thing. But if you need to search for something else, you either need to quit google maps to reopen this junk to search for something else or don't be lazy and just type what u are looking for in the search field. It's much faster then closing google maps and reopening this junk, clicking a category again then opening google maps. Are you joking??? This is JUNK!!!

:-) Good app This seems to be the best app of it's category. Don't like the new category index bar though. I wish I could change the names of the categories or hide them altogether.

You Can Do Better Than This This app does a poor job at performing it's intended task. The search function is unorganized, vague, and produces unhelpful results. The "I Want" app is better at searching for nearby categorized products/services, and "Urbanspoon" and "Goodrec" are better search tools for restaurants. I'm sure there are others. Don't waste your time with this one. - Maps Buddy review by ChuckChuckChuck
I am in no way affiliated with the developers of this app I'm just one satisfied customer. I have been using this and it has never failed me. awesome app in my opinion. - Maps Buddy review by I1204
Custom POI's make this VERY useful! From what I've read of the other reviews...I think the negative ratings are from folks who don't know how to use this app to create custom POI's (points of interest).
Unlike many apps similar to this one...you are not locked in to a list of pre-defined POI's.
For instance...when I'm traveling on the road by car...I like to stay at Holiday Inn Expesses. Well...instead of being locked in to searching for 'hotels' and having to go through a list to find Holiday Inn Express...I am able to create a costom POI for Holiday Inn Express and save it as a 'favorite'.
Now...when I'm ready to pull over for the night...all I have to do is open this app and click on Holiday Inn Express instead of typing it on each time.
This is VERY useful indeed! - Maps Buddy review by dawgs85
Useful application, great for on the road Getting tired of the Maps search, I got this while traveling. After entering some favorite searches, I was able to find places quickly. The application works fine and I have used it quite a bit on my 4 day travel trip.There is a feedback link within the application for problems and/or requesting new features. I submitted a question that was answered quickly. - Maps Buddy review by mahlon1920
Avoid this application Don't waste your money on this application. It does not work on my iTouch and their support is non-existent. The positive reviews are very suspicious sounding to me. - Maps Buddy review by MarshViewer
Don't buy Don't believe the praises in the other review - they must be written by the programmers of this. This is a very poor application. Don't waste your money. The categories it offers are very limited, and the software works awkwardly. Even at 99 cents, I feel as though as I wasted my money. - Maps Buddy review by Tim.por

Surprisingly out of date and not helpful - expected much more. Unfotunately, I can't change my nickname or it would be "Notatall Happy Withit"I live in a metropolitan area and counted 10 gas stations and 8 banks within a 5.0 mile radius of my home. MapsBuddy found none of them the i.e. the closet gas station was 15.9 miles from my home. I also work in a 900+ bed Medical Center (the largest in the state) that it couldn't find when I searched "Hospitals" (from the hospital’s parking deck - no less). One saving grace is that most of the POI's that it found were fairly accurate on the map (even if half a city away) and it does a pretty good job of finding specific POI’s if you search for the exact name . I was thoroughly disappointed, but I guess that you might find it OK if you don't mind driving 13.6 miles for a cup of coffee instead of using YP Mobile to find a Starbucks down the street. - Maps Buddy review by Happy Withit
Love it! So useful and it does exactly wut it says it does ! Definitely worth the 2 bucks ! Also much better than the Where To GPS Navigation app. - Maps Buddy review by Redflash801
