This is an original app (not from a tutorial or class) that lets a user save their favorite places and then retrieve them in order of proximity to the user's current location.

Usage

Say I have a number of new restaurants I'd like to visit one day. I can create a new list (eg. "New Eats!") and save the places to that list.
Later when I'm out and about in the city and think, "Hm, I want to eat at one of those new restaurants, but how close are they?", I can pull up the app.
The app gets my current location, I select which list to conduct the search in ("New Eats!"), and it returns the places in that list in order of how close they are to me. Now I know where to go for lunch!
