Welcome to the future, which is already in progress.
Yesterday, while driving to “Short Pump” VA, I got a little lost. As soon as I realized that I was off the trail, I pulled to the side of the road, fired up my computer, and signed on with my wireless card. I hooked up to google maps, and got directions to the short pump mall from the intersection I was looking at. Turned out that I just had to turn left and drive 3 miles … but it’s good that I checked … I had been planning to turn right.
In two or three years, this capability will be on your phone, entirely voice recognition and GPS based.
Of course, if you’ve got a friend with a phone, sitting in front of a computer, this capability is *already* on your phone.
