Last  not on 'not the nightly news' on ABC radio, there was a story about a 
new gadget to do just that.  Did anyone else hear the 'story'?  Hard to 
tell if it was funny truth or funny comedy.  The purpose was to find a 
place that sold something you wanted, e.g. beer in this instance.  They 
also gave the example of finding your way home after you drank the 
beer...barump-bump.
