Last week the Apple App Store released three new location-aware apps to help you decide where you’re going, how to get there, and some ideas on what to do once you arrive.

Going by AOL is a great app to find things to do, covering many of the top cities in the U.S. based on the popular website Going.com. Using the power of location, Going shows you what your friends are up to right now, and where they’re planning to go later.

Before heading out to your chosen destination, it’s always important to make sure you’re looking your very best. Luckily, Holiday Gift Guide by NearbyNow provides a great way to check out the latest fashion styles. NearbyNow can even contact stores located near your location to reserve any particular item you happen to like.

Now that you’ve got some nice clothes to go out in, if you’re in Boston for the weekend (or for life like we are), just launch the Open MBTA app by Daniel Choi to gain access to public transportation data including the bus, commuter rail, subway, and boat schedules and make sure you arrive on time.
