Perhaps that's the thing with an app my wife is doing. I don't have a wallet app, myself; I mistrust phones (and the corporations which own them) too much for that.

The Wallet app is built in on the iPhone.

Do you also print out directions from Mapquest before you leave home?

I'm sure that is convenient for those iPhone users who want to make use of the feature.
