Trip to the Beach
Writing by Jose on Sunday, 30 of March , 2008 at 10:00 am
So, I’m currently on my way to the beach. With my trusty iPhone with its wonderful Google maps. The occasion? My wife’s side of the family has there Easter cookout a week after so the other side of the family can all meet together. Makes sense I guess.
But the main point about this post is to talk about the iPhone’s ability to cut your trip time in half. You see… AT&T’s data network pretty much spans all major roads so I can enjoy youtube to its fullest even on the move. The network performs very well but there is one drawback with Google maps. There is a semi GPS feature that comes with it. Instead of using satellites, it uses cellular towers to triangulate your position. Well obviously this doesn’t work unless there are more than one tower in the general area.
Well, were getting closer to our destination and I need to use my maps so… Catch you later.
