AroundMe finds services near your iPhone

TweakerSoft has introduced AroundMe, a new application for the iPhone. It costs $1.99 and is available for purchase and download through the App Store.

AroundMe finds services near you using your iPhone 3G's GPS.

AroundMe uses the iPhone 3G’s Global Positioning System (GPS) capability to find your location. You can then choose the nearest bank, bar, gas station, hospital, hotel, movie theater, restaurant, supermarket, theater or taxi.

The listing is displayed on a map, which then plots the route. You can add that information to your contact list or e-mail it to others. AroundMe also incorporates a “Nearby” listing, and will link to Wikipedia so you can discover information about a chosen locale.
