Cool idea, but holy conglomerate branding, Batman. Is nothing outside of Fortune 500 count as a point of interest?

Looks perfect for the anti-globalization protester in a hurry and looking for windows to break! Wonder if it works in Pittsburgh?

This looks like a very user friendly (not to mention COOL) app. Brings GPS navigation to a very non-techie” level. Thanks for sharing!

sheesh – are our lives so completely dominated by corporate America that only a few people noticed that all the points of interest are fast food chains?
