Find where to recharge your electric vehicle

Alan Stenhouse of Scruff Monkey Software built EV-Point, an electric vehicle recharge station finder, for iPads and iPhones with LiveCode.

EV-Point lets you find a place to recharge your electric vehicle. Your location will be indicated, simply select a target recharge station near you and get directions to it, both on the map and as text. You can also email the directions to someone else if required. Directions are automatically localised to your current phone language. Charging stations for Europe, the USA, Australia, Japan and other countries are available.

It's in the App Store.

Simplify geographical mapping

Map Grabber was written in LiveCode by Graham Samuel as an add-on to an existing simplified Geographical Information System (GIS) which runs on PCs and is designed to introduce school children to geographical mapping. Map Grabber allows the user (a pupil or a teacher) to download a very large map from a public database, and to select a smaller 'tile' of the map interactively. The tile is selected from a miniaturised version of the original large map, and then passed in its original resolution to the GIS program. Map Grabber is deliberately designed to be easy to use.
