Finder is mapping app that lets you see and save your current location on a interactive Google map. It also provides the capability of showing arbitrary locations entered as addresses, or as latitude and longitude coordinates, and then providing directions to this and any saved locations, such as where you parked you car at the big football game or Mall of America parking lot.  Any location can be saved and driving or walking directions from your current location to that saved location can be requested.  Finder also works with other Finder apps and the SafeText apps to allow you to request location information from a friend, colleague, relative, etc. and show their location and get directions to them.  Imagine a daughter, son, spouse, or grandparent on a long trip by themselves. If each of you have an active Finder app on your Android phones, you can track their progress without disturbing them (hands and eyes-free), and if they are overdue at their destination or need help, you can get directions to their last reported location.  You can also send your location at any time, or automatically in response to a request from another Finder app and if they have their Finder app running, they will see your location on a map. If you have a SafeText app, a friend with a Finder app can send you a text message and get your location back as a response text, and then show it on a map.

Finder requires a text-to-speech engine on your Android phone to make announcements. Look in Settings>Voice Input & Output>Text-to-speech Settings. If Pico TTS is listed that will work. If Pico TTS or some other TTS app is not on your phone you will need to download and install the free text-to-speech app TTS Expanded Service (tts_3.1_market.apk) from http://code.google.com/p/eyes-free/downloads/list . Once installed, you can select the speaker's accent (English US or UK, Spanish Italian, German, or French) and desired speaking speed (from very slow to very fast) by opening the TTS app. The TTS Extended Service app can be downloaded, installed, and used even if the Pico TTS app is already installed on your phone.

Feature Details

Tap the Show My Location button to see your current location on the map.  Once the map opens, your position will be shown with a red  balloon marker and a balloon caption “My Location.”  You can scroll the map and zoom in and out using your finger and the map controls on the screen. Tap the map outside the balloon caption to hide the caption. Tap the marker to restore the caption. Tap the caption to get additional information about this location. Tap your phone's Back button to return to Finder's main screen.

To save your current location (and that of your car, hotel, rental car return, fabulous eating establishment, etc.) tap the Save Current Location button, and enter a name for the location so that you can find it later in the list of saved locations.  The saved location name, time and date, together with the location details will be displayed in blue text.  To show a saved location, tap the Show button and select a location from the list of saved locations. Tap the Clear button and select a location to remove it from the list of saved locations, or close the list without selecting a location (by tapping the phone's Back button) to clear the displayed location information without removing it from the list. After taping the Clear button, the number of saved locations will be displayed where the previous saved location information was displayed.  Tap the Directions To button, and select a location from the list of saved locations to get directions to that location from your current location.

(обновлено 2012-12-10)

BizSearch combines the capabilities of the Yellow Pages and Google's search engine to quickly search a specified location or near your current location for businesses of interest.  Whether you are a sales person looking for potential clients and leads, or a family just looking for a place to get donuts while on vacation, this is the app for you.

You enter a city and state, then a business type (for example “bakery”) and tap Start Search to begin your search.  The app displays matches on a map of the area around the location you entered, with the closest business identified by a red balloon marker labeled “A” and a balloon caption giving the name of the business. Tap a different labeled balloon marker or any of the unlabeled red dots shown on the map and a new balloon caption will open for that business. Tap the balloon caption and an information screen is displayed for that business. Or, tap the list icon at the bottom left of the screen and a list of the businesses is displayed, then select a business from the list for more information. The information screen provides access to driving directions from your location to the selected business, street views, if available and, if you select the “More” option from the scrollable list addition information is provided such as the business telephone number and hours of operation. Tap your phone's back button repeatedly to navigate back to the BizSearch main screen to enter a new location or business type to begin a new search.  Use the Clear buttons to clear the previous search entries. If you leave the location entry blank, your search will begin from your current GPS (or other location provider's) position if that location information is available and is enabled on your mobile phone.

(обновлено 2012-09-16)

New - pre-loaded hurricane checklists

From the developer of the ListMaster app, CheckList provides a new sophisticated way to enter, manage, and save multiple ordered checklists or detailed procedures on your Android phone or tablet.  CheckList allows you to number your checklist/procedure steps in a variety of ways: simple numbers, or letters, or a combination of numbers and letters, or in an outline format.  Each step includes a description you enter and a status indicator you can set which could stand for step completed (passed), incomplete (failed), or not attempted.  The step status, step identification, and step description can be edited /updated at any time. As you add or edit/update steps to your checklist, they are maintained in ascending numerical and/or alphabetical order. Steps may be deleted individually or you can start a new list at any time.  You can insert new steps in your check list sequence by assigning a new step identifier which precedes or follows an existing step.  You can name your check lists, and save, restore, or delete them.  You can also e-mail a saved checklist to yourself, a friend, or colleague.

The updated app comes with three example checklists: a Hurricane Preparedness Check List, a Hurricane Evacuation Procedure, and a Hurricane Ride Out Procedure that can be tailored to suit your families needs.
