why do i care??
The new Google phone has the google maps, and interactivity with the maps built right into the phone. You simply type in the address you wish to reach, and up comes turn by turn directions and the google earth view as well.
Now if Google could just incorporate or find a way to set a setting that would pick bike worthy roads as opposed to four lane highways.
If this would happen, your phone could replace your GPS unit. Now it is not waterproof, a big plus for the GPS unit and if you want all that fancy stuff like cadence and who knows what else,
then turn by turn directions are not gonna be enough for you.
But for folks who want to find their way home when biking and lost, this phone is IT.
The phone sells for $529 without a plan or $179 with T Mobile. Verizon will have it available in the spring of 2010.
As I have said in a previous post, Google really needs to take biking and route making to a new level that only Google can do.
