So close, but like other apps like this (yelp, urbanspoon) it depends on the 3GS compass which for me is worse than useless. The figure 8 trick doesn't properly recalibrate it and just standing still and tilting the phone will change the compass heading. Strangely, it seems accurate in degree of direction change, just not direction. It would be nice if I could manually set north on it since it's internal calibration is just broken.
