New York City has launched CityMaps, an iOS map application that shows businesses as logos instead of pins.
Whether you're a tourist or a native you'll be navigating your city like never before. For the first time you can see every business in your neighborhood with just a single glance at the map. Click on a business to get all their information including phone number and hours, foursquare tips from previous customers, their most recent tweet, even if they're running a daily deal that you can take advantage of.
CityMaps shows you what's happening in your city right now. The bar on the corner just tweeted an awesome happy hour special. And the comedy club up the street just posted a Groupon deal for 87% off. A quick check of the menu for the French restaurant down the block, look at the foursquare tips, and then with a click your OpenTable reservations are made. Decide to take in a movie after dinner and you can easily buy tickets with up-to-date times and trailers, linked to Fandango. All of this from just glancing at the map!
