Recording favorite places as footprints
A footprint consists of a photo of a location such as a restaurant, a sightseeing
destination, etc., stored together with a precise GPS position and other information
about that location such as the street address and phone number.
The next time you want to visit the same place, just open the footprint. You can then
view the location on the map, search for it on the Web, and more.
