"Location-based applications, like InfoSpace Find It!, provide an added dimension that can simplify and enhance the mobile experience.”

It combines eyes-free spoken directions and simple-to-use GPS functionality with the convenience of local search to locate nearby businesses, people, and events quickly and easily.

“Now that I have InfoSpace Find It! on my BlackBerry, I can’t live without it! In my day-to-day travels as a real estate appraiser, InfoSpace Find It! provides easy mobile access, giving me maps and directions to the addresses I’m looking for,” said David K. Akina, owner of Akina Appraisal Group, Los Gatos, Calif. “I also use it to find what’s nearby the houses I’m appraising, like restaurants, copiers, coffee shops, etc. It’s so easy to use and accurate because it works with my GPS receiver, and it saves me the expense of calling 411 all the time.”
