I have this on my G1. Very useful app. For finding new places its a whole different experience than anything I've seen. Layar in addition to Google Places Directory helps me find whatever I need, wherever I am (mostly places to get coffee).

Hmm, I think it's cool, but I am not sure it has ever been useful. I would rather just see a map.

No nibbles the first time (but on a different source URL).

It died young. ;-)

Layar is pretty cool tho. I'll give it an upvote.

I just tried it and my first impression is that it too difficult to use. I'll give it a couple tries and see how I feel.
