Game Changer

Don't tell my wife but I've got a new love. My new "it girl" goes by the name Google Maps Mobile. Oh, baby!

This amazing free download lets you get directions, search for businesses, view satellite imagery on some phones and even provides real time traffic information. It does all that right on your phone. I'm awestruck.

The other night my wife and I were driving through Los Angeles around midnight. It occurred to me that I hadn't been to a Bob's Big Boy in about 15 years. We wound up spending the next hour or so driving to the places we thought we remembered seeing a Bob's. It's a sad story partially because we never made it to Bob's but mostly because we couldn't think of anything better to do at midnight in LA.

Those days are over. Thanks to Google Maps Mobile I'm able to find the nearest Bob's within seconds. I'm able to get directions to the nearest In & Out burger with ease. When I'm done with those places, I'll use Maps Mobile to guide me to the nearest Jenny Craig.
