I'm searching for ATM & If I click on “ATM” for example, I’ll then get a list of the ATMs around me complete with a thumbnail image, the location’s distance from me and a star rating. Clicking on any of the listings will take you to a page with an overview of the place, including its address and phone number, if Any. You can also read reviews of the place by Google local users and see more pictures of the place.
To download Places Directory to your Android-powered phone, search for "Places Directory" on Android Market. It currently support US English and Chinese.
