You have to do a search off the Sprint portal, get the results, click the Local Search button and then you'll get a link to download it. (It may be contextual based on whether you have a supported phone.) @Greg I believe the browser-based search is triangulated and the application uses the phone's GPS chip. I get different results when I try the two systems, with the Java more accurate.
