Lost without iPhone

Monday, July 6, 2009

Many of us today are lost without our iPhones. Indeed, in this age of mobile internet and GPS tracking, who would carry a map in their pockets? Just grab your trusty iPhone and touch Google Maps, and bang! you will know your exact location on the planet Earth.

With the new iPhone 3GS and the new OS3, your sense of direction gets even better! The new iPhone 3GS has a digital compass so you will know if you are heading in the right direction as you use GPS to find your way around on foot. Some of the more interesting features include turn by turn voice navigation, although current iterations will set you back at least $9.99 a month courtesy of AT&T. iPhone GPS applications also give you turn-by-turn suggestions whether you are traveling by foot, car, or even buses and trains. In essence, the iPhone keeps a track of your every move depending on which mode of transportation you are using.

Don’t forget what made iPhone great as a interactive map. The GPS application orients the map to your direction so that you don’t get confused which is a left and right. If you are not sure if you have arrived at the right location, just use Google Street View to confirm the house for your friend’s drinking party. Apple and Google has also enhanced our daily commute by providing live traffic data.

And after all that you are still lost, iPhone has more tricks up its sleeve. The GPS application has a location finder that can find places by keywords or even phone numbers! If you are still confused with the view of the map, it lets you switch between satellite view, map view, street view and hybrid view with zoom features!

So don’t venture out without your iPhone, because it is a confusing and a complicated world outside. Stay ahead of the world using your iPhone. Save time using your iPhone. Trust the iPhone, it will always guide you!
