Where´s GPS widgets for your mobile phone provide ample location based info for those inquisitive about their surroundings. The widgets available at Where.com can be dragged and dropped to your phone from your Where account, or they can be loaded directly from the Where menu on your cellular. Currently there are twenty widgets available which you can have for a mere $2.99. The widget suite includes widgets for finding ski locations, directions, and weather conditions; there´s a winery finder widget, a nexrad radar viewer, and there´s even a widget which finds the closest earthquakes by proximity. These nifty widgets are expanding too. Where has just made a Twitter widget so you can post GPS enabled Tweets. It´s also got widgets for Zillow and Eventful. Where only works with Sprint/Nextel phones, so you´re outta luck, (at least for now), if you´ve got say, a Cingular or T-Mobile phone. Of course, Where uses data, so you´d do well to sign up for an unlimited data plan.

WHERE GPS widgets make it easy for you to customize your phone. It´s simple. You can add and delete them by dragging and dropping them to your phone from your account on where.com or by adding them directly from your phone.
| Why it might be a killer | |||
|
|
Where is partnering up with a number of clients who otherwise wouldn´t be able to make their own GPS enabled widgets, e.g. Twitter and Zillow; these widgets enable users to use their favorite apps anywhere. The widgets are themselves quite practical and at $2.99, it´s really not a bad deal.
| Some questions | |||
|
|
Some of the widgets seem rather limited in useâ€"locate a winery or golf course, for example, will Where add more useful widgets? When will it include other networks?
