Pretty nice google app for cell phones

ivwshane · 11-10-2005, 05:23 PM

I'm sure some of you have seen this already but just in case you haven't.

Google has a new product called google local for your mobile. It's basically a google map app for your cell phone from which you can get directions and maps, as well as satellite images all from your phone.

It works pretty well on my nokia 6620 but it does require a decent amount of memory (at least my version does).

Try it out here:

Oh and make sure you have a good data plan because it will chew through data like nothing.

Your phone should have no problem accessing this app. It's the equivalent of downloading a ring tone.

another cool app is to pull up google while you are shopping then type upc then the upc numer. google will pull up froogle and let you know some online prices, so you can know if you are getting a good deal.

ivwshane · 11-12-2005, 11:25 AM

Doesn't verizon restrict where you can go on their phones?

Hubcap · 11-13-2005, 02:26 PM

what do you mean

thadood · 11-13-2005, 04:19 PM

Works fine on my stock Audiovox I got from Sprint.
This is so cool, Google may be taking over the world, but I don't care!

ivwshane · 11-13-2005, 04:19 PM

I remember verizon users telling me that when they get on the web on their phone that they can only go to sites that affiliated with verizon.

For example, if I wanted to go to a message board that had wap support I wouldn't be able to because verizon blocks access to it.

I don't know if this is true or not, I was just asking.

92 k on my phone. I need a data package if I ever intend to use it a lot.

I couldn't find my house.
