Find Payphones

Application lets users geo-tag payphones, and find them

There are both a surprising and unsurprising number of pay phones left in the wild. If you ever need one, to call a crime stoppers hotline, for example, you need this application.

Please only tag pay phones that have dial tones.

There are known issues with this release. ALL of them will be fixed by future releases.

1) Doesn't seem to work on tablets at all.

2) If you "walk" the street view to get a better view of the pay phone, this effort is currently wasted, because the latitude / longitude of the street view is slightly different than that of the pay phone.

3) 'Nearest' refers to location when you start the application. As you move around, the distances are not recalculated. If you really need the nearest one after the first run, restart the application and it will recalculate.

4) "60% of the time it works every time."

a) If you see the pins on first run, great.

b) If not, pause and reopen the application.

c) If you still see no pins, close and restart the application (lower-left button and swipe the application to the right or tap 'close all', then restart the application).

d) if you still see no pins, uninstall the application, there is no fix for you yet.
