Re: Around Me
Hi, Last summer I used AroundMe to book a hotel reservation while we were driving, and it worked beautifully. We got one of the last rooms in town, as it turned out. So yes, it's a wonderful app. Best, Woody On Oct 18, 2012, at 7:03 AM, Rob Harris wrote: > Ok ok, this is a gem. Been poking around my locality and various others I > remember the UK post codes for.

Re: Around Me
Steve, Thanks for the suggestion; however, I understand All Menus is not as easy to use and I'm not looking to install yet another app if the same functionality exists in Whereto. And Whereto apparently contains twice the number of menu options as does All Menus.

RE: Around Me
There is an app called Restaurant that lists all of the major restaurant chains and their menus. I actually believe it's called restaurant and nutrition. This is accessible and I love it! HTH.

Re: around me on Ipod Touch
A comment: the global button allows you to look at anywhere. So if you know where you are, you can go there and enter it, and you will get all the blurb without use of GPS; this I think is where it would be good enough on the iTouch, or the other devices without the GPS chip. I've looked around Australian and US cities as well as the more local UK ones; and it keeps a history of your efforts so you can go back to them.

Where To and Around Me was Re: Around Me
Yes, Around Me works in New Zealand and Australia as well. Another similar app to consider is Where To. Where To accesses bus stop locations in cities that support it, such as Wellington, NZ. Also, Where To has a nifty feature that gives the direction and distance to the POI you selected. This information is updated as one travels toward the PI. I use both apps.
