Google Releases Places Directory App for Android

We've all been in that situation before: You're in a new city, you have no idea where anything is, you need help. Thankfully, we can now all fire up Google's 'Places Directory' application on our Android phones to solve the problem. Places Directory conveniently uses GPS and Google Maps to help locate the 'places' around you that you may need to find. The 12 categories include: Attractions, Banks, Bars, Coffee, Gas Stations, Hotels, Medical, Movie Theaters, Parking, Restaurants, Shopping and Taxis.

We can definitely envision ourselves using Places Directory in the near feature!
