Vicinity is the ultimate guide to your surroundings.
It provides one tap access to nearby services and amenities such as bars, restaurants, taxis, takeouts and gas stations. Vicinity also utilizes your location to display nearby Wikipedia articles and photographs from both flickr and Panoramio, providing a useful source of education and interesting places to visit.
The location list shows all the places and their distance from you in real time, and is sorted so you can quickly select the nearest. Simply tap an item to view details and photos, visit websites, phone or get directions.
Combining hundreds of data sources, Vicinity is one of the most comprehensive location based applications to date.
