Google Maps for mobile rocks more than a phone

My iPhone, Six Months Later…

I’ve had almost those exact same experiences, but with my Blackberry Pearl instead. I think it’s Google Maps Mobile that rocks more than any phone.

Google Maps works a lot better than GPS in downtown Seattle. Many times I’ve had friends in town with rental cars equipped with GPS and we’ve watched the GPS tell us to make a U-turn on a one-way street or mark our position out in the bay and tell us to “turn right”. Where the cell phone tower triangulation usually gets me close enough that I can manually correct it and figure out where I need to go.
