Saw a live demo of Google Maps for cell phones yesterday, including
demos of most of the features on this Google page:

http://www.google.com/mobile/maps/


Pretty damned slick, and to me, at least, a lot more useful than the
dash-mounted GPS-only devices. Apparently at the moment the mapping
programs are more developed and more featured on the "Android" based
cell phones, as opposed to the iPhone cell phones.

Might be enough to motivate me to trade up my flip phone to an Android
phone. :)


You are just finding out about this? You are behind the technology
curve
again.

My BB has had this capability for a couple of years.


But you have to pay extra to use your BB to navigate. Android uses
free Google service.

I opted for the Android and save $30 a month in BB mail service.
Android mail apps have a ways to go but they're close enough now. I
didn't think the nav service was worth $10 a month so I never had it.


For the iPhone, perhaps for others, you can get TomTom as an app. It's
$100
and I don't really need it, but it talks to you just like the regular
TomTom.



TomTom is a crappy GPS. I have been in cars with them and they miss turns
by a block or more. I'll stick with Garmin or my OEM version.


That's not been my experience.


Then we will disagree.

Who said you are/were? He clearly said school. No one said you
graduated from college. If you were a lawyer it would have been obvious
to you but you are incapable of reading for content so that would
exclude you from many occupations. Your confusion is expected.
