Or you prefer to fill up your gas tank only in specific gas stations?

You can filter search result by name at advanced search page here, at mobile search pages here and in augmented reality browser Layar.

In ‘Filter’ field you just enter the term that you are interested in and all obtained search result will contain it in their name. As an example, take a look at screenshots of mobile search:

Because of certain technical problems on iPhone devices, the application has been withdrawn from App Store. We can expect it back in February. Also, support for Symbian devices has been announced, most likely during the first half of year.

Regarding Lociraj.net data layer available in reality browser, POI objects are now presented with intuitive icons (instead of blue circles). Business owners that are advertising through the Layar will be glad to hear that application users can now make direct calls and visit their web sites in one click, directly from the application. The same functionality has been added to both web and mobile pages as well.

Our hosting provider decided (without any notice and synchronization) to relocate us to another physical server. No need to mention that the new machine was not ready to host our service.

Anyway, our sincere apologies and best wishes for New Year 2010.

If you are unfamiliar with augmented reality concept, we invite you to see the video demonstration here.

Starting today, you can access our location based search engine in new and attractive way. Currently Android phones are supported, iPhone 3GS coming soon.

All you have to do is download free Layar application from Android Market and activate ‘Croatian POI’s’ layer. That’s it!

First, we have added UserVoice feedback forum. It’s purpose is to collect all new feature requests at one place. You can get the list of existing requests by clicking on a red ‘feedback’ button located at the right side of web page. There, you can vote for features that you find particularly useful, or you can even add your own requests, which is actually the point of the whole thing.

Second thing is related to web pages optimized for mobile devices. Starting from today, if you visit the pages with mobile device equipped with newer web browser, your location will be automatically detected and shown on screen. This means that you no longer need to enter manually your current address or location. Your device doesn’t need to have a GPS either – in that case your location will be determined by the surrounding cell towers. For those courious enough, all that is important is that your browser implements W3C Geolocation API or that it comes with Google Gears Plug-in. You can try out the whole thing even from your PC if you have Firefox 3.5 (or newer), or Google Chrome web browser.

Happy locating!
