Sometimes apps.
bring new functionality to a platform; and
sometimes they simply bind together capabilities
that the platform already has.
Loci is one of those.
It lets you tag a place with a
description, and a photograph. You can
send that information in an e-mail, and navigate
to it.
And why would you want to do that?
So that you can..
- ..remember where you parked this morning,
and be guided back there. (With an alarm
so you don't get a ticket),
- ..find your hotel again in a unfamiliar
city,
- ..make your way back to that perfect picnic
spot,
- ..meet your friend in a strange town, after
you've both been shopping,
- ..celebrate your anniversary in the exact
place you met,
- ..repair the broken junction box you noticed
earlier,
- ..have a record of where you found that rare
wildflower, so you can find it again.
Obviously, the most common use will be the
first one; and you'll more than make back
whatever you paid for the program the very first
time it saves you from getting a ticket; but the
more you use it, the more uses you'll find for
it.
I know I use it a lot: for instance my local
landowner has given me permission to forage for
wood, so I do; and I gather it into piles, then
collect the piles together at the end.
Since the woodland all looks the same Loci means
that I don't forget to collect any of the piles
I've gathered; which would be incredibly
annoying.
That's what I mean by finding more uses for it:
if someone had ever told me that there would
once be an app. which would make it easier to
collect wood, I would have been amazed.
Time for the screenshots.
