Hi all, Just an FYI to let you know there's been an update to the Remind Me Where app.
This app does various things, including allowing you to explore any environment (seeing what businesses and other places are around), get directions from one place to another (you can specify driving, walking, or public transit, and even get a graphical map to go with the directions), and allowing you to keep your own POI database. It also works with a GPS receiver connected to your notebook. Along with the usual bug fixes, the big improvement with this version is that whenever you want to specify a location, you can choose the GPS coordinates (as you always could), but instead of entering those long strings of digits where a mistake is quite possible, you can enter the "What 3 Words" equivalent. Also, any place generated by Remind Me Where will now show you the What 3 Words associated with that location. What 3 Words are an ingenious system which allows a combination of common words to be used to specify GPS locations. You can read more about them at http://what3words.com/about There you can also download a free app for your phone which will give you the What 3 Words for any GPS location or your current location. It suddenly becomes quite easy to pass a location on to another person by telling them 3 easily remembered words, which they can then enter into Remind Me Where or the app on their phone. These also can be used when there isn't an exact street address for the location you want to specify.
