I kept missing it somehow, so *I actually stopped and asked for directions*. I asked a guy on the street, some guys outside the emergency room entrance of a hospital I drove by ( god I hope they weren't ambulance drivers, although they were uniform ), and a gas station attendant. None of these guys could direct me to Fenway. What the hell? I ended up buying a map from the useless gas station guy.tudzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16813121581730777404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1737808092791042537.post-79736593183360080052009-10-29T13:30:54.471-07:002009-10-29T13:30:54.471-07:00I also hope there is some sort of way to use this ...I also hope there is some sort of way to use this GPS without having to be connected to the internet.

Phones that will run this will likely have access to lots of memory, so that's not a problem, and the app could be written to check for a data signal first before using a stored map, so that the user is getting the most current data possible. I guess I'm thinking of the large swaths of the country with poor 3g coverage, and U.S. users traveling abroad where roaming data rates are outrageous (think $7/Mb, at best).Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03132431350611722302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1737808092791042537.post-50088389944457980472009-10-29T05:46:47.788-07:002009-10-29T05:46:47.788-07:00Excelent work Google team!
