Umm… Starbucks and Wendys are “local points of interest”???

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?

Love this and wonder how it would do in a college town with fast food central. Will be giving you some Link Love over on http://familyonthephone.com as I write about the iPhone.

Oh great, someone decided we needed Pop ups in Real life…
Brilliant……not.

Hopefully you can pick what it shows. Can’t wait for the glasses to come out.

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?
