Google maps

  Hello everyone! This week I want to talk a little about a trip I recently took.
  As some of you may know I work in the aircraft industry, and I had to go to Oklahoma City to spend a week in an FAA seminar, which will allow me to license aircraft. But I digress!
  As always I took my US Cellular Android powered phone. (I don't even go to bed without it)! I was going to a hotel that I was not familiar with, so I took my Garmin GPS. Yes I know my phone has maps! I did this as a test of sorts. I put the address of the hotel into the Garmin and into Google maps navigator on my phone. The GPS wanted to take me a long distance out of my way, so without knowing the area I put my trust in Google maps.
  Amazingly the Google maps got me to the hotel in a very timely manner, even with all of the  construction going on in the city! The Garmin GPS had to keep "re-calculating".
  So if you are taking a trip, my advice to you would be to go to your local US Cellular store and pick up your own Android powered phone and be sure it has the latest version of Google maps loaded!
  Oh by the way, Google maps also now navigates inside many places, like malls! How cool is that!?
  And when you open the Google maps app, don't be afraid to push buttons! There are a lot of "layers" in the app. I set mine on "satellite", and it looked just like Google Earth on the computer! It also has the option of "street view" built into the layers.
  As always just have fun with your Android powered phone from US Cellular!!

  If you have any questions about Google maps, US Cellular or your Android phone in general  feel free to contact me through Google+, or in these comments.
