Description

What's That? is a more whimsical way of discovering interesting points of interest near to you! See something interesting in the distance? Simply point in its direction, and your watch will let you know what it is!

Sometimes you are looking for something very specific, so in the app settings you can also choose what you want to look for (such as restaurants, tourist spots, or parks). 

When you're in the "pointing mode", you'll see a compass view with vibration cues for when you're pointing at a point of interest. One vibration means you're pointing at something. Continuing to point will lock in the selection (indicated by three vibrations).
 
Once a point of interest is locked in, you'll get to a details screen for that POI. There, you'll see its name, distance from you, and a live arrow pointing to it.

Let me know if you have fun with this project, and if you have ideas for how to improve it please let me know! You can email me at: my first name [at] my last name [dot] ca.
