Places Tabitha says, "This is actually a widget that goes with the Maps app, I believe, but I stuck it to my home page because it makes it easy to search for things. It has a menu of basic search terms (Restaurants, Coffee, Bars, Hotels, etc) and you can add special or more specific ones, and then it searches nearby and even shows a little arrow pointing in the ACTUAL direction where you'd have to head to get there! I use it mostly to find Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf locations. :-P"
Doni's note: I've tried this app in Portland on the iPhone a few times - it's nice to be able to edit recommendations and reviews - right on the spot! And to see what's around you and what other people think of those places.
