Works as advertised This is was really useful, the route planner is cool. I would use the app more on my corporate blackberry though since i have that during my work day. Also, why cant i use the camera to capture a license plate ?

Burn day notices. I just moved to an area with "no burn" days and was this app gives me a fast and convenient way to check before getting a fire going in the fireplace. The only issue I have is that I would like the burn / no burn Notice to be more prominent on the main page.
