RE: App that wil show current location with name of town
I just asked Siri “where am I located?” and it gave me the full address. Of course, it was to the house located behind me, but close enough for this little test. And yes, the entire address including city was spoken.

RE: App that wil show current location with name of town
Ifind Siri often just shows you the address and city when you ask for your location, or sometimes even when you say "where am I?" If you say "tell me where I am" it more often will speak the information instead of just displaying it. Blind Square will speak the intersection, address and city when you shake your device.
