Places is an application that uses Google Maps and your

Attractions, and other businesses. You can also add your own
locations.
The Places application allows you to find the best sources for
business information across the web, including business
listing details, reviews, photos, nearby public transit, and
other related information. Business owners can provide
additional details, such as photos, hours of operation, and
coupons.
