This framework is able to display lists of specific locations, be it restaurant chains, coffee shops, offices, or anything else! These locations are stored in a local database, so no Internet connection is needed.
The framework supports the following features:
- Self contained database of locations.
- Sort locations by names or distance.
- Display the 10 nearest locations in a list or on a map.
- Display detailed information on a single location, i.e. Full Address, Phone Number.
- Add the location to the phone’s address book.
- Get directions to a specific location.
So far this framework is used by one application, Nando’s Finder. If you are interested in using this framework or have suggestions on what other apps I could make then please contact me.
