Up until now, however, it only covered New York City. A new update adds three new cities: Boston, Washington, D.C., and Austin (just in time for SXSW, of course). The Austin map won’t be available until later tonight, where it will appear in the app’s city selection screen. UpNext lets you zoom around the city in a very Google Earth-like fashion, Read More

I was in NYC for a week and feeling a bit bored, so I took a look at a passel (anyone still use that word?) of NYC tourist apps, that I picked up last week for the heck of it. NYC Subway 24-Hour KICKMap - $1.99. Rating: Horrible. This is a generic subway map that's "24 hours" because you can tap the day/night button to switch the background from white to black. Wow! Hold your finger on a station for 3 seconds to bring up the address of the subway stop and often a disconnected phone number. Tap 'Alerts' and the app tosses you to the Manhattan Transit Authority site in Safari. HopStop - Free. Rating: Wonderful. Tell it where you want to go and it'll get you there via public transportation, just like the website hopstop.com, but with GPS built-in. UpNext 3D NYC - $2.99. Rating: Meh. Useful for finding Read More

23 May 2009 alle 12:47 Uncategorized Produttore: UpNext | Download Via: AppStore | Prezzo: 2,39€ Voto Utenti: [ratings] è una nuova applicazione disponibile in AppStore. Sostanzialmente propone una mappa 3D che tramite l’utilizzo del GPS riesce a mostrare la propria posizione e tutte le strade circostanti, ma purtroppo funziona soltanto per la città di New York e quindi ve la presentiamo esclusivamente per il suo fattore “innovativo”. L’applicazione comprende anche Manhattan ed ogni singolo edificio viene riportato con le giuste proporzioni di altezza, larghezza e spessore. UpNext 3D NYC integra numerosi punti di interesse ed anche le recensioni degli utenti che permettono di capire la qualità di un locale, un pub e simili. Comprende anche la mappatura della metropolitana, la possiiblità di essere localizzati tramite GPS e di inserire commenti grazie tramite Facebook o Twitter. Ecco un video dimostrativo: Read More

This post is part of Mashable’s Spark of Genius series, which highlights a unique feature of startups. If you would like to have your startup considered for inclusion, please see the details here. The series is made possible by Microsoft BizSpark. Quick Pitch: UpNext 3D NYC iPhone app brings the Big Apple into the palm of your hands. Genius Idea: Google Maps on your iPhone is great for a lot of things, especially when it comes to a street level view of towns and neighborhoods. In practice, however, the app falls short of meeting our needs for truly navigating, exploring, and searching a city. What UpNext’s 3D NYC iPhone app does for Manhattan is take your mobile map experience to the next level. The app uses standard iPhone touch capabilities to let you navigate, zoom, tilt, and turn the 3D map with your fingers. But it’s what you uncover while you’re Read More
