Thanks Esther. It is very accessible and looks to be a good adjunct to Navigon and Google Maps. It's POI categorization looks to be giving me a lot more options than the Navigon onboard POI function.

IOS navigation app is on sale today for $0.99 (November 11, 2013) Hi All, "Where To?" is on sale today for $0.99 "for a very limited time", reduced from $2.99. This is one of my favorite apps for POIs. I love the feature they added two years ago for VoiceOver users where you get live updating on direction and distance to a POI from the "Details" screen of the POI you selected from your search. Where To? was the first of the POI helper apps that let you send destination addresses directly to other navigation apps like Navigon, TomTom, Google Maps, Apple Maps, Motion X GPS Drive, Hop Stop, etc. (You can double tap the "Navigate" button for that POI to send the address to a routing app of your choice.) I also routinely use "Where To?" as a simple way to send addresses in my contacts to these navigation apps. While the search button on the main screen is meant to let you either search for a POI in your search area by name and/or address, or to input the location you want to search around, it's also set up so you can flick to a "Bookmarks" button in the input field, double tap, and access your Contacts in the normal way (including a table index at the right for faster access). If you select a contact with an address and double tap it, you also have the ability to send that address to a routing app by simply double tapping the "Add button" in the bottom right corner of the screen. (This is also the last element on the screen, so you can navigate there with a four finger tap on the bottom half of the screen, if you find that easier, then double tap to select it.). The "Routing Apps" screen will list any navigation apps on your device that can accept the address information, followed by a list of app store links to other navigation apps that will accept its addresses below that. Just flick to the "Route" button for the app you want and double tap, and that navigation app will launch with the address passed in. I find the POI selections and information from Where To? better than in Navigon and many other similar navigation apps, and the ability to send addresses from my contacts without typing in any addresses is also a plus. If you actually want to search for POIs around your contact address, instead of routing your address to a navigation app, just double tap again to get back to the main screen, since focus will be on the "Back" button, select your search category, and run your search. Your results will be shown for the search location address selected from your contacts. Switch to "list" viewing ("list" button just above the "Home" button at the bottom of the screen) for most convenient display mode. You also have the option of switching the language used for the app's screen, provided this is one of the languages in your language selection. For example, if I use this app in France or Quebec, I might want to have the search categories in French even if my iPhone is set to English. I can set this for "Where To?" in the main Settings app, by changing "Categories" from "System Language" to a specific language, like "French". Works internationally, but most of East Asia, except for Japan, is not covered, and only parts of Africa, I think. Europe, North and South America, Australia, etc. are well covered. This is a great app. It usually only goes on sale for about a day. Here's the app store URL: .
