DiscoverIt Las Vegas Lite is a scaled down version of DiscoverIt Las Vegas which is developed with the idea of Navigating the last mile without having to use a Map. Therefore, even non-techies can use and enjoy it. Maps on the iPhones are many times disorienting to most people from out of the area. Also, Points Of Interest like parks are very hard to find if you do not know the name. Follow the live arrow and distance displays and you easily navigate to them. Works like a champ. The app contains hundreds of thousands of points of interest in 24 Categories so it works without internet or cell service and it is very fast to search through many items using the "next" key.
Very easy on power.

The DiscoverIt! Series of Apps are designed to be easy-to-use Reference or Travel tools that let you discover, locate, or go to what’s around you. Users will discover and locate almost unlimited points of interest, even in familiar areas, which they were not aware of before. Want to go to a DiscoverIt! location? Just follow the Arrow on the screen! DiscoverIt! continuously points to the location and updates how far away it is...
It almost becomes an Educational game.

DiscoverIt! Las Vegas locations are limited to Las Vegas and the iPhone must be located in Las Vegas to function properly. However, the "Landmark" key will work from any geographic location and is not limited to the phone being located in Las Vegas.

When in Las Vegas, want to know What’s Around You? Tap “Where is That?” and DiscoverIt! Lite features nearby locations by the following Categories:
Food (Restaurants, Pizza, Cafes, etc); Places (Shopping Centers, Locales, Cities, etc.); Land Features (Trails, Mountains, Valleys, Tunnels, etc) and Recreation (Amusements, Skating Rinks, Bowling Alleys, Halls and Auditoriums).

DiscoverIt! (full version) features Food, Parks, Recreation, Coffee Shops, Museums, Gas Stations, Land Features, Fast Food, Churches, Bars, Shopping, Golf Courses, Water Features ( Beaches, Lakes, Streams, Bridges, Islands, Harbors, etc), Tour Operators, Schools, Places, Doughnut Shops, and more!

The “Next” button can be used to quickly find additional locations in the chosen category at ever-increasing distances. An example would be if you want to locate a place to eat. Tap “Where is That?” and then the “Eat” button. The closest place to eat is displayed, and by using the “Next” key you can quickly scroll through all the eateries around you and even locate a particular type you prefer (Italian, Mexican, Chinese). Then just follow the Arrow to go to it. Simple and very fast!

Want to know What’s Over There? Just point your iPhone in a direction of interest and tap “What’s over There” and DiscoverIt! tells you what is closest to you in that direction. The “Next” button can then be used find additional points of interest at ever-increasing distances from you.

DiscoverIt! does not use confusing maps, instead, it allows non-technical people to easily find a location around them. Even your grandmother can use it!

DiscoverIt! is not like most apps and doesn’t use the Internet or a cellular signal so it’s really fast, and power consumption is very, very, low. The user interface is sunlight friendly: with maximum contrast buttons and backgrounds that are easier to see in bright-light situations. DiscoverIt! respects users privacy and does not snoop on them in any way.
