               Just touch the compass and Beer Compass directs you to nearby pubs! Beer Compass knows your next barIt looks like the application uses the Google Maps API to find near by watering holes. The selections returned include restaurants and bars. For some reason, it also returned a chiropractor. I guess the application can only be as good as the data behind it. Sometimes Google hiccups. The application then passes off the selected bar to the Google Maps iPhone application which gives you directions from your current location to the bar. I don't think the chiropractor serves beer, but I could be wrong ResultsBeer Compass did find all bars within a short range from my location. I can see this application being very helpful when you are out on a pub crawl, especially in a neighborhood you are unfamiliar with. Hopefully in future versions Beer Compass will give you the option to turn off the noise, but the fact the application can quickly find all the nearby bars with directions a drunk can follow makes the application well worth the price!Related Articles

“Not all chemicals are bad. Without chemicals such as hydrogen and oxygen, for example, there would be no way to make water, a vital ingredient in beer.”
