I love when developers come up with an app that adds functionality to a pre-existing application. To me that is what the basic apps that come installed on your iPhone are all about, the camera is a great example, as simple as it gets, yet with a multitude of apps that enhance it's presence. Locations is one of those apps that adds depth to a standard app, in this case Maps.

Birdhouse

Here in Boston there are basically three topics that you can use to strike up a conversation with anyone. They're which ever team is currently playing (Red Sox, Pats, Celtics, Bruins), the weather (if you don't like it just wait a minute and it will change), and the king of 'em all- directions around the city. Everyone has an opinion on how to get there from here, here from there, and anywhere in between. In a city whose streets are built on top of cow-paths established in the 1700's, there are numerous ways to get anywhere, some easy, some complex, some better in the morning, some better on the weekend, some better in inclement weather, some with the most Dunkin' Donuts or Carvel's en route...... you get the point. Fresh Tracks is an app that addresses the issue of getting places the best way, and of explaining how to do it.
