Over at Nokia BetaLabs, Here & Now has received an update. Here’s a bit of the blog post :

Nokia Here & Now

Many thanks to Here and now users for all your feedback. Based on that we were finally able to solve the nasty wrong location problem that had us puzzled for quite a while. You can read the story in the forum if you are into technical details.
Also based on your feedback, the client now checks whether Here and now was started from the browser bookmark or from the application grid. On exit it returns to the browser bookmarks only if it was started from the browser. This was supposed to be in the summer release already, but it was left out due to a human error.
This release also fixes some bugs including one that is actually only visible when there are three or more previews. Which is nice, because we have just released two new services:
* Movies listing your favourite flicks nearby (OK, it also shows the ones you do not care about)
* Restaurants showing the fine dining possibilities around you (if they happen to be in the Guide – try it and you’ll know what I mean)

You can download the update over at the Nokia Here & Now page on BetaLabs. It’s advisable to uninstall the old Here & Now Client (if you have it) before you install the new one.

I’d guess that the addition of Restaurants would make Here & Now slightly more useful. Do you use it ? Do let us know whatchya think of it !
