Info/description:


This utility automates queries against the YP.com server and adds loads of features of its own.


This application is written specifically to take advantage of the Kyocera 6035/7135, Palm Treo 300/600/650, and Samsung i500's ability to dial phone numbers from the results of your residential or business directory queries, though most of the applications features will work on any standard wireless equipped palm device.


Features:


Residential, Business and Reverse queries against the YP.com web site.


Dial the phone number directory from the results screen.


Calls MapQuest to show Map of address from results.


Use Results, Addressbook entries, Airports, or manually entered addresses for Driving Directions.


Keep results for later use until cleared.


Copy number or entire entry to clipboard, copy to Address Book.


Maintains last entered query parameters for next use.


Store frequenty used search strings


Updated Description:


v3.26:


* Added new preference for Map Type. Selections are MapQuest & Google Maps. IMPORTANT - This is only for MAPS, NOT Directions. Directions still always use MapQuest. Note that on some devices Google maps may not display at all. To get a large version of the map images on Treos, you'll want to set your browser view to Wide Page Mode. In Optimized mode, the bitmap is reduced to fit within the browser window, but it still produces a bit better map than the MapQuest PDA version.


* Added new Maps button on main screen to provide a simple address, city, state, zip entry form (with data saved between sessions for later) to whichever map type (Google or MapQuest) you've got selected to use.


* Added new preference for Directions Destination, replacing the previously added checkbox Send Directions to Memo. Now the choices are "Browser", "Memo + Go To", "Memo Save Only", and "Ask Each Time". The first choice calls up your selected browser with the MapQuest Directions URL. The second choice parses the result of a directions query into a new memo record and switches to the Memos application with that new record showing. The third option creates the memo, but does not change over to the Memos application. The final option forces a dialog box to appear on each directions search to give you the choice among the other 3 options.


* Fixed for no longer getting multi-page business results.


* Upon re-entry to a screen where the first field has text, it will be highlighted, thus making it easier to start a new query by just starting to type.


* Removed dialer type preference, force to direct dial on new installs. Needed space on the screen and this option only applied to a couple of older smartphone types no longer in widespread use.


* Change to only send first 3 digits of Canadian Postal Codes to maps and directions, as the 2nd 3 digits would result in MapQuest errors.


* More intelligent handling of directions response containing: "MapQuest found a similar location" when using directions to memo feature. DA will attempt to execute the requery that the page is suggesting, with MapQuest's suggested changes to input parameters. DA will warn you when this happens, as the resulting requery MAY not be what you really wanted.


* Renamed the "Addr Book" buttons on the Directions screen "Contacts" to reflect the application name that is in common use on later devices.


v3.25:


* Added Total Distance and Esitmated Drive Time to directions sent to Memo record.


* For directions sent to Memo, DA will now swap out to the memo application showing the just-added record.


v3.24:


* FINALLY, solved the crash on upgrade to new version. No longer any need to uninstall old version before installing new version! Many thanks to "dgmanns" on pdaPhoneHome.com for revealing the information that has resolved this problem!


* Also FINALLY, hopefully a fix for Treo Copy to Contacts crashes. I have changed the method of adding these (and old Address Book app as well) to use local Exchange Manager instead of manipulating the database files directly. This should be much more reliable. Can't be any worse!


* Added a new feature to Directions. You can now elect to send a parsed version of the directions to a Memo record. A new Preferences checkbox has been added - "Send Directions to Memo". If checked, a successful directions result will be placed in a memo record, in the category of your choice. This way you can save often used directions for later use or do a number of directions queries prior to needing them.


* Fixed for Phone # reverse query putting things in the wrong place, since no name is returned for these.


* Fixed for Business results without addresses having city/state/zip and phone # fields shifted up a line.


v3.23:


* Dial & 5-way Support for Treo 700P.


* Full support for all functions except Copy to Address Book for Pocket PC devices running the StyleTap Palm Emulator (www.styletap.com).


* Added Exit Application menu choice.


* Fixed for Address Reverse Lookup.
