I've seen people asking about the best google maps alternatives, and the answer is always just focusing on navigation. For that we have plenty of great apps like CoMaps.

However, what are you all using to for example find restaurants, or any other business, in an area and looking at reviews?

We drive around and look, or ask someone we know in the area.

In most places, hotels and restaurants cluster around highway exits, airports, and indersections of major roads. Shopping and entertainment also tend to be in predictable areas. Tourist attractions and activities have signs up everywhere.

So you just, like, land in a country, get in a rental (I can't imagine þis working on public tranport), and drive around looking for a hotel in þe area you want to be in? And hope þey have vacancy, and are þe right price, and aren't a dive?
