The Locator app provides you a convenient means of searching for places around you. With this app, you can locate various types of places (food, shopping, essentials, entertainment or tourists attractions) which may be of interest to you, wherever you may be. You can view details of each of these businesses surrounding you by tapping on the marker on the map or an item on the list view. Once here, you can get directions, share location, make phone calls or view the business' website (if it has one) all from within the app itself. You can also add the place to the Favorite List. The App works best when you also have Google Maps installed in your phone. The Locator combines Map Search with remote monitoring capabilities. The app contains the following key features: - Searching of places around your current location - Generic address search (for searching a location away from your current location) - Remote monitoring (where you can set automatic triggering of events as you enter or leave a particular area) Whether you are a traveller planning for a vacation or a property buyer searching for a good location, you will find the Locator to be a useful tool. Disclaimer: Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
