If you’re walking around a city with your Apple iPhone you’ve got a 101 apps telling you where to go, where to eat and where to look cool holding your Apple iPhone. However if you’re carrying your HTC G1 or G2 Magic around you might feel a little bit more lost. Up until recently the tourist guide apps have not been as plentiful on Android as they have been for the iPhone, but now there is a great one out there for you Google heads.

Places Directory has just been released for the Google Android OS and it offers you a simple interface with great functions. The app finds your location by your GPS and then will give you a list of close by attractions and sites. You can check bars, restaurants, theaters and whatever may be close by. Select the place you’re interested it and you can call them directly or get directions through Google Maps

This great for tourists who are a bit worried where they’re going to get a decent bite to eat in a foreign city. It will let  you feel a bit more at home in a strange land.

Download it from the Android Market Place or here!
