The iPhone has a built-in app that pretty much does this... not quite,

it works pretty well.


Judy's BB Storm has a great mapping ap. We were playing with it when
we were driving around back in the National Forest area between Squaw
Valley and Donner Pass along the Truckee river. Between that and the
compass I carry, we managed to find our way out



I'm intrigued enough by the GPS/Mapping apps alone that I think I'll
"retire" my aging LG flip phone and pick up one of these new Android OS
phones. There's a new one that just came out called "The Incredible" that
seems to have some other interesting features, too.

No Apple iPhone for me. Nice phone, but the AT&T cell coverage around here
is not so good.

I've heard that Verizon might get an opportunity to be a vendor. That would
open things up.
