• Favorites: You can add/edit/remove favorite locations and then easily select them from a list when doing your estimation.
• Recent: The app will keep track of recent estimations so you can always go back and view where you were going, how much it cost and how long it was going to take.
• Modify Rates: Just like the website, the user will be able to alter the rates if they feel ours are out of date (pfftt we never are )
• Google Maps integration: Just like the website, you will be able to launch a Google Map to show your starting point and destination.  When you type in something like “McDonalds”, you will get a list of possible locations in your city, you will also have the option to view a Google Map of all possible locations.
• Geo Aware: Since the iPhone has GPS, you will only have to type in your address – no more having to type “123 Fake St, New York, NY”.  Just type in “123 Fake St” and you’re city will be automatically detected.  This is the same with business searches, you can just search “Burger King”.

Those are the main features you can look forward to. I’ve got a few people testing it right now, so assuming all is well after that, I expect to have it launched end of April/early May.  It will probably price around $1.99.

In the mean time, here are a few screenshots of the app in use.

Some people have been blogging about us at: Addictive Tips, Startup Meme, Killer Startups, Ottawa Blogspot, New York City Events, Ace Startups, Colorado Springs Newspaper, Startup Ottawa and many others.

We’ve also added a few more cities since the last post, http://santarosa.taxime.ca/ and http://denver.taxime.ca/

From: 10 Albert St, Regina
To: 55 Montreal St, Regina

TaxiMe would come back and say “Did you mean…”

Now if you type in your starting point and we support the rate for that city, TaxiMe will automatically adjust the fare settings. I know some of you live in the cities that aren’t supported, so I’ve offered a temporary solution until the list grows. If you know the rates in your city you can click on “Adjust fare settings”, punch in your rates, check off “Use custom rate” and click save.

The neat thing about this is that if your city isn’t supported, take Scarborough for example, TaxiMe will attempt to find a city in that province/region and use that fare. In this case, it will use Toronto’s fare. It looks at all the cities in that province/region and uses the fares of whichever city is closest to the one you typed in!
