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 ticke
t), * ..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.
