Local search engine YellowSpaces has introduced a free application for iPhone and iPod Touch users called “iLPS.”
iLPS offers maps and driving directions with one tap, helping users get where they need to go. Mobile searchers using iLPS are presented with a map view first, allowing them to decide which business location they want based on how close it is to them.
Once a selection is made, additional business details are offered including the business phone number, address, website along with driving, biking and walking directions.

“It’s as if you have your car’s Global Positioning System in your hands,” says Constantin S. Manta, founder and principal officer of YellowSpaces. “Just think of iLPS — as a Local Positioning System or a local GPS.
“More current and certainly more comprehensive than the Yellow Pages with one tap, iLPS delivers maps and directions with specific details about its proximity to the user for the busy mobile searcher. There isn’t another iPhone application offering the depth of relevant results or the speed of iLPS.”
Unique features of the YellowSpaces iLPS app include:
- Search for local businesses by keyword, name, or category
- Detects your current location automatically
- Lets you modify your default location
- Choose from a dozen map layouts
- Saves favorite business phone numbers and addresses
- Shows comprehensive business information
- Bookmarks location and/or recent searches
- Gives directions with the shortest route: driving, walking, or cycling
- A built-in Web browser
iLPS for the iPhone and iPod touch is available now at the Apple App store.
