MapsBuddy – a must have companion to the Maps application on your iPhone!

Imagine you are driving (or just hanging out with your friends). To locate the nearest coffee shop (or any such location), you would usually launch Maps, tap the current location button and then type “coffee shop” – that's too many things to do, not quick and definitely not very convenient!!

Instead use MapsBuddy!! Just launch MapsBuddy and tap on “Coffee Shop” – that will automatically locate and show all coffee shops near your current location on the map. Locate all your favorite places with one tap without the hassle of typing!!

Any one that ever uses Google Maps should have this!

This is what I have been waiting for!

Works fine and I have used it quite a bit in my 4 day travel trip!

[Fixed] With the latest iPhone OS release, MapsBuddy was not showing the locations correctly within Maps. This has been fixed with the new release.

Customer Reviews

Do not recommend (1 star)
It's really klunky. Pick a category and it brings up a list and you have to pick one place. The app then exits (??) and you are taken to google maps. If you dont like that one you have to relaunch the app. Around Me plots several on a map at once and you can interactively check things out, plus their interface is better. But my Favorite app for this is MotionGPS, an astonishing value with voice guidance, 3D maps, realtime traffic, and a sli

Update fix (5 stars)
The App was bad for a time, a glitch showing the whole earth. On 10/16/09 I did an App update. There was Map Buddy!! It is back to normal again. Awesome App and worth every penny.
The bad reviews were about the glitch. IT IS FIXED…YAY!!!!!!

Disappointing (2 stars)
This app looked promising at first, but turned out to be a disappointment. It looks pretty much like Google map, but with a few pre-set categories such as "Parks", "Libraries," etc. One can bookmark locations.

However, I quickly discovered that I had to re-start the app *EACH* time I wish to search in a new category–and *EACH* time I want to go to a different bookmark. Big pain.
