There is absolutely no way for an app to tell which way you are standing without a compass so it is IMPOSSIBLE for this to work on your device and has nothing to do with the developer.</p> @Daryl: How the heck is an application that uses a compass for direction going to work on a 3G with no compass?

I recently moved to a new city and using the funda layer to find apartments and especially using the ING layer to find a nearby hidden ATM is really great. I think this app will only improve, so I look forward to future updates! Bedankt Layar!</p> It really is quite useful in you live in the Netherlands (the country that Layar is based in) since it has so many layers already that are supported here.

I’ve noticed my battery drain a bit faster when I use this app too. There aren’t many layers in Denmark, just Layar’s and Wikipedia is useful, for now.

So right now, it’s just a fancy google maps. It does hold promise, I believe.

I get an exact location in google maps then go into layar and am at /- 47 metres. Also the app drains the battery incredibly quickly!</p> Good idea but struggles to get a gps signal.

Seemed like a great app. After using it, I was very dissapointed for 1 reason; crashes during apartment searches and few other searches. I am impressed with the idea, but what good is an idea when it does not work. I am hoping the dev team takes a minute to read my comment.</p> I followed this app for a while before downloading.

Google Maps is quicker, and you don't have to wander around in circles. It launches Google Maps to do anything usefull anyways!</p> Not really seeing much point in this.

Just kidding. I have this app and when I use it I can just see my battery drain faster than ever. Maybe ba coding or it's just more stressful on the phone? Anyone else?</p> First! Just kidding.
