Now that I am retired, when I am not busy writing software for myself, I have Places to Go.I wrote this app to help me keep up with the Places that I want to go and the Places that I have been."My Places To Go" allows me to create Places that I am interested in, with a description and a GPS Location. Each time I go to that Place I can check-in and it will record the current date and time. I must be within 150 ft to check-in so when I show my friends, they know I was really there. (Or when they show me, I know they were really there).Each Place allows me to put Tags on it. Tags are like Keywords. Using Tags I can create different Sets of Places by specifying which Tags I want to be included in the Set. I have Sets for all the Texas State Parks, and National Parks, to name a few. Sets are simply a way to group your Places. You can have as many Sets as you want. Deleting a Set will not delete the Places in the Set. When you are viewing a list of Places in a Set, you can see them in a List, or as Pins on a Map. The pins on the map are color coded so the Places you have a check-in will be green and all others will be red. When viewing a Set, clicking on the pin will take me to the description of the Place where I can read or edit it.If I am viewing the details of a Place I can look at its location on the map. Clicking on its pin will launch the Maps Application and provide me a Driving Route to that Place.A cool thing about the Check-In page is that it shows you a map of where you are, and the Place you want to check-in. As you get closer, the map will zoom in. I like to run Maps in the background for driving instructions, but look at the Check-In screen so I can see more detail about what is between me and where I want to go.I can share my Places with friends by emailing either the individual Place or an entire Set. When they get the E-Mail there will be a button in the body of the message that they can click. This will launch My Places To Go and import the data. If a Set is being sent, only places they don’t already have will be imported. If an individual place is sent, clicking the button will create a new place, or update the existing place.I really enjoy using this app and hope that other people will too.Please feel free to visit by Blog to ask questions, get tips, or leave comments.
