I didn't say Google Maps did not work for this purpose, it does, quite well. For instance, I just searched "coffee" and found the 9 closest independent coffee shops and Starbucks in my immediate area.

I would mention that the one closest to me, four blocks physically from my home and where I sit at this moment, was listed as #9 in the list.

Using the same paramete "coffee" in Beyond 411 yellow pages (and the gps option), that very same Starbucks is not listed within the first 72 choices, lol.

If I use Stabucks as the search, in Beyond 411, that same Starbucks is the #1 choice.

In Google Maps, using Starbucks as the search, that same Starbucks is the #4 choice.

Very interesting.

So, I keep both loaded on my 8800, there's room for both.
