I know my biggest problem when going to a new city is having an easy way to find hotspots for food, entertainment and sight-seeing so this would help out tremendously. We’re hopeful they’ll add more cities over time. Check the full list of cities out in the Android market.
MY biggest problem when going to a new city is not having an easy way to find hotspots, period.
I like TripAdvisor.. I do most of my research prior to going to a new town though.. but still kind of nice.. What I am waiting for, is for Google or someone else to come up with a good way to download maps to my phone.. Not so much for use here, but as data can cost a fortune when roaming overseas it would be nice to be able to shut off data and still use GPS and maps on my phone.
