CellMap and My Nearest!



Another iPhone app courtesy of Canpages, and a must have, is “My Nearest.”


“My Nearest” works anywhere in Canada. Essentially it is a customizable 411 directory for any sort of business within a 10 km. radius of your location. Feeling hungry? Search under the restaurants category, and “My Nearest” will list all the restaurants starting with the closest one first. Of course you can pull the business’ information up, add to your favorites list, and find directions. Need cash? “My Nearest” has an ATM category – in fact; “My Nearest” comes with 30 preloaded categories, but don’t stop there, you can create your own as well.


CellMap is proud to have been involved in the development of “My Nearest,” and proud to point out it ranked as the number #1 navigation app on iTunes Store.


It’s free and you can download it from here.

Extremely convenient, practical, and it’s free! A must download from the iTunes Store.
