With so many people traveling over the next 10 days, I thought it would be worth reminding you about the excellent Google Maps Mobile.
The searching and directions are neat, but the live traffic is the real killer feature in this product. It saved us a good deal of time yesterday (don’t go down 75 — take 285 around) , and will likely be a big help again tomorrow.
Their latest update also included “My Location”, which is a simulated GPS using cell tower information. My phone has GPS (N95 FTW), but this is a useful feature on my wife’s BlackJack.
Bottom line: If you have a compatible phone, GMM is a must have during the holidays.
