So out came my trusty old Treo Pro and Google Maps - when you first start it it gets your rough position based on your mobile phone masts but once I set it to use GPS within a minute it had my exact position which was updated in real-time on the screen. I did a search for where I was supposed to be going and then it gave me directions to there. It's basically Google Maps, same as on a PC, but on your mobile phone but with the advantage of it knowing exactly where you are.Thursday, 22 January 2009
Google Maps - Amazing!
So I was in London today giving some training. I had a printout of how to get to the site from Regents Park station. Unfortunately they were to the wrong postcode.
