Nor can I add ratings, reviews, etc.<br /><br />There's no function to just see a map of area restaurants. You can't get showtimes for movies. Gas stations are listed, but gas prices are not.<br /><br />It's nice and all, but I expected more from Google.Kenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17290216730267437910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1737808092791042537.post-73685331817298281452009-06-12T12:48:01.209-07:002009-06-12T12:48:01.209-07:00Great app. Is there any way to help improve result...Great app. Is there any way to help improve results?

One suggestion for future upgrades, would it be possible that favorite places in places directory would be sync'ed with starred places in google maps?
