We present another useful scenario where using LocaJot can make life a bit more manageable…or at least a bit less stressful.

Problem:
Good (meaning free or strong signals) WiFi can be unreliable and time-consuming to find.

Solution:
Use LocaJot to mark the place where you find free, strong WiFi signals.

Example:
You travel through the same large airport every few months. Between the multiple terminals and large crowds, it can be difficult to remember where you had previously found a good WiFi signal. The next time you find a reliable signal, mark a nearby place and make a quick note in LocaJot. Recalling that spot will now be easier during your next visit!

You’ve got LocaJot on your iPhone and you realize it can help you find that place you know is around…but where…just where is it? You know it’s nearby…but exactly where do I turn right or left? Use LocaJot’s map and you can get there more easily.

Problem: You are in the vicinity of a place of interest, but you can’t recall the exact location.

Solution: LocaJot can map venues imported from your foursquare® Check-in™ history.

Example: You are entertaining guests for the evening and they want a slice of pizza. It’s also raining. Your favorite pizzeria is a mile away and your guests don’t want to make the walk. You do remember another pizzeria much closer that serves an above-average slice. Unfortunately, you can’t remember if that nearby pizzeria is on 7th, 8th, or 9th. LocaJot to the rescue!

Using the LocaJot’s map can really help you figure out where you’re going. Use it and get back to your favorite place!
