iDashPad - shortcuts & map links manager lite

Have you ever been driving while looking for a hotel or gas station nearby? thirsty while looking for a coffee house nearby? always want to find a quick way to send email to a group of people?

iDashPad can help you to organize all kinds of GPS-assisted and non-GPS shortcuts, such as phone, SMS, email and RSS etc., together for easy access within one click.

If you like GPS assisted apps such as BucksMe, TimmyMe, MapsBuddy, WhereToEat, FastFood (which only provides 1 or 1 kind of location shortcut) you may like iDashPad better because its an all-in-one GPS shortcuts manager and can do a lot more.

iDashPad is arguably the most powerful GPS-enabled launch pad for iphone. Unlike the others that take forever to launch, iDashPad starts up within a blink. It also saves your precious iPhone desktop by consolidating all these applications into one.

To get a quick idea, just skip the following lengthy text description and go directly to see the screenshots! You will like it.

iDashPad is also a highly integrated and GPS-enabled search tool that:

- has a static-positioned search bar like MacOS spotlight that always available for quick access
- locates a contact with minimal typing
- displays thumbnails of contacts in search list for easy identification

Its also ===super fast=== to launch and meant to be placed on your iphones spring board to help you keep the most important parts of your social network well organized.

**** NOTE: This is the lite version that allows you create maximum of 16 shortcuts only. If you like it and want unlimited shortcuts, please check out the iDashPad Pro in app store. ****

Also note due to current iPhone SDK limitation, iDashPad cannot automatically generate shortcut for launching another application - you have to know the launch link of that application and type it in as a custom link. e.g. putting "myspace:///" in the target of a custom link would launch the "MySpace" application. Please do note that not all apps support the custom launch link, you may have to contact the app creator to find out.
