I was at the grocery store and had just left the place that sharpens chainsaw chains because it was no longer in business. So I wanted to search the local area for businesses that sharpen chainsaw chains. The brand is Stihl.
I first tried the Google's Map app, then Apple's Map app, then Google's mobile web site. I could not figure out how to do the search I wanted. For example, Apple's documentation says I can search for "Mexican restaurants" -- which I tried and it worked. But I could not figure out what to search for that resulted in a map with multiple hits. For example "chainsaw", "chainsaws", "chainsaw dealership", "chainsaw retail", etc (with and without Stihl) all ended up with one "hit" (not the same hit) and a map pin on that hit. It was frequently up in New York and I'm in Austin TX.
If I go to Google's mobile site for the maps and ask Safari to take me to the desktop site, then I can follow the documented procedure and get what I'm looking for. It seems like this would be something that is done all the time so I'm assuming I'm an idiot.
Can someone help me out and point me to a process where I can search for a type of business close to my present location? e.g. chainsaw dealers.
