Dunkin Donuts Finder

[yankeeboy]

I have found a Starbucks Finder, works quite well. Yet - sometimes there is nothing like a Dunkin Donuts coffee. Would love to see this integrate with Google Maps....anyone?

I second!

Just being silly here, but ...

why dont you just search in google maps for them ?

Hey, people want a dedicated app for a particular type of business, who's to deny them?

We just uploaded "Dunkin Donuts Finder" to the market. It's free. Enjoy.

Wow, you guys are awesome!! Ask and you shall receive. I checked the market and its not there. How long do new apps take to show up?

 

[polyclef]

It should go live within minutes. It's showing up on my market app. Check under Apps>Lifestyle>Just In. The market search engine is sometimes problematic, and I've heard issues of certain apps not showing up on certain phones/providers.

Now, the minimum OS version is 1.6. Hopefully you're not on a phone running 1.5.

Unfortunately I have the Droid Eris which is 1.5

I thought I was having problems with some of my map functionality under 1.5 and that's why I'd set the min at 1.6. But I went back and tested it and it seemed to be all right, so I just reset the min OS requirement to 1.5 and republished it. Check again in a bit and hopefully it will show up for you.

And hopefully it's what you're looking for. It just searches for the 4 nearest Dunkin' Donuts (within 50 miles) to you and gives you the address and distance to each location if you click on the icon. The results are sometimes a little weird, especially if there's not a DD near you. If you have any suggestions, let me know.

OK, I was able to find it and download - thanks.

The initial screen is great - LOVE THE DD FONT!

When I click on launch map, I see a purple dot (which I am assuming is me) and 2 buttons - ME and SEARCH. The Google Map does not show up it just looks like a grid, when i click search, it shows 2 donuts close to me on the "Grids". Also, when I back out of the application, the GPS stays on...I have to force quit to get it to stop...

Man, sorry about the issues. I was having a problem with the Maps API key. I really do hope it's straightened out with the last upload.
