Search by business!
We’ve just finished making TaxiMe a little smarter. Now if you’re unsure of the address of the place you’re trying to get to but you know the name, go ahead and type that in.
Example: “Quiznos Ottawa” or “Burger King Vancouver”. TaxiMe will then show a list of 4 possibile addresses. At the moment Google only lets you show the first 4 but we are working on ways around this.
Unfortunately, the searching by business only works on the website and the iPhone. We will have it working for generic mobiles shortly.
A bug has also been squashed (previous post). Now, this only occured on some addresses but if you searched “90 Queen St, Ottawa”, TaxiMe would give a “Did you mean” prompt with a list of the same addresses below. Once you clicked on it, it would just loop and ask you the same question. The problem is that Google sees 4 possibilities for “90 Queen St” in the Ottawa area so you need to go a little more in depth with which one you want. The fix: if you click on one, you will now see that the input has been populated with latitude/longitude co-ordinates. This seems to work.
