    Local GPS/Restaurant-Bar App

    I recently switched over to Verizon and retiring my iPhone. I've found mostly all the apps I used on the iPhone but there is one I havn't been able to find yet.

    There was an app on the iPhone called "Around Me". It was a pretty simple app that pulled your current GPS location and showed you what was 'around' you and would give you directions via Google Maps. I used this a lot while traveling.

    I haven't found anything on the market place yet that is similar to this. I may have just missed something. Free or Paid apps would work. Let me know if anyone else has found an app like this.

    Superpages (by Yellow Pages) is fantastic and supports augmented reality. Basically you aim your camera and it shows you what is in the direction your looking as you move it.

    An app called Where is awesome as well. I use them both.

    I just downloaded an app yesterday called "Places Directory." It seems pretty comprehensive and has a place to leave ratings and comments.

    Wow. Thanks for the help. Superpages is exactly what I was looking for. I will also check out that other app.

    There is also layar. Which seems to work well for some and not so much for others.

    I've never tried superpages, but I think I'll give it a shot now.

    I think "Aloqua" is similar to Around Me as well.
