Comments on: GeoSpot Launches Local Mobile Search – Answers the Question, “What’s Open Now?” http://www.centernetworks.com/geospot-local-mobile-search Web 2 and Social Media News and Reviews Sun, 12 Feb 2012 21:27:36 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v= By: Dolce http://www.centernetworks.com/geospot-local-mobile-search#comment-18271 Dolce Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000 #comment-18271 I stumbled upon GeoSpot.com web version several months ago. Being a field support engineer, I find myself in different parts of the Bay area on a regular basis. GeoSpot has been invaluable in finding new places to eat for lunch and dinner while I am out in the field. GeoSpot has just made there service even more valuable with the launch of its mobile version. Now I can search on the fly instead of pre-planning. I agree the Logo is butt ugly. I am also looking forward to when they expand their coverage area beyond the Bay Area as my job takes me throughout the Western Part of the US.

One point I would like to make is that currently the service works in the whole of California and Nevada. While not every business has searchable operating hours (as you said that is not a simple feat), the coverage is solid in major population centers and destination areas including Bay Area, Greater Los Angeles with San Diego, Las Vegas, and Tahoe. Letting people rate businesses and finding ones that are the “best" will be coming soon. Thank you for sharing the information about GeoSpot service with your readers.

Actually, you can search for open businesses through most of California. Pitty it is not available nationally. Good article. Actually, you can search for open businesses through most of California.

For example, If I was leaving the bar or a movie late night and looking for a cup of coffee it would be nice to know what's open matched with "Best Of" information. This way I could select the location that serves the best cup of coffee from the available open locations.

That includes search by open hours and by other data types in major metropolitan areas and thousands of other cities across the country. Some of the data types users can search for include kid friendly, dog (or pet) friendly, even restrooms, and we are adding more. http://corp.geospot.com/en/press/geospot-deep-local-search-launches-nationwide-on-web-and-mobile.html GeoSpot just announced national (US) coverage by GeoSpot “deep” data.
