“WHERE” - moble/GPS widgets for your phone
“Where” has launched and recently upgraded their mobile phone GPS widget application/service. It enables a user (currently only select Sprint phones) to download a widget app for $2.99 and get all their ever-increasing functionality.
With WHERE™ GPS widgets, you drag widgets like your local weather forecast, earthquake reports, roadside assistance, local ski reports, store finders and more from the web to your handset, or discover them directly on your phone. And if you can’t find the widget you want today, not to worry, we’re always adding more.
Some of their current widgets are expected/common, some are quite kool, (vinyard and brewery finders!):
- local — search locally for points of interest around you
- directions — get directions and maps from where you are to where you want to go… or from anywhere
- saved places — save your favorite places to easily access them in the future and share them with friends
- location notes — write notes about the places you’ve been for others to find, or keep them private if you don’t share well
- weather — get the local weather for your location
- ski report — local ski reports
- earthquake! — find the most recent earthquakes by proximity
- world largest — a fairly comprehensive list of America’s huge roadside attractions
- fore! — golf course finder
- roadside help — towing service and repair shops
- state parks – enjoy your local state parks
- winery finder — take a wine tour at your local wineries
- rent a car – you know you want to
