Apps that do one thing and do it in a polished and useful manner will always remain popular in the smartphone world. Intersection is a GPS-enabled Palm Pre app that automatically discovers your current intersection with a single tap and lets you text it to the right people with another. It’s simple yet surprisingly useful in a variety of scenarios. If you lead an active social life, or are perennially late to events and have to field-off calls demanding “Where are you?” in an annoyed tone, this will be an invaluable app. Making ad-hoc plans becomes significantly easier with this app.
Intersection lets you configure a list of favorites to whom you can broadcast the message with your intersection. The other option is to send it to all your contacts (yikes!). There’s currently no way to group favorites (“Work”, “Social”, etc.), and that may cramp your use of the app a little bit. The accuracy of the intersection discovery seems to be spot-on. You can also use it to send address reminders or notes to yourself. This Palm Pre app is simple, but covers such a frequently encountered scenario that it’s well worth having on your Pre.
