Google Navigation Available on the G1

Author Thomas | 23.11.2009 | Category Uncategorized

Well, it’s almost the update we’ve been waiting for…Google Navigation on the G1.  We’ve been hoping for Android 2.0, but hey, Navigation has been the major Wow Factor, and we’ve wanted it.

Visit the Marketplace and download the update to Google Maps.  When requesting directions through Google Maps on your Android phone, simply click Navigation and Whammo!  GPS navigation just like the big boys but for free.

You can also navigate through your phone, check emails, etc. and even have the display turned off and the phone will still speak the directions to you.  Your phone may ask you to install the text to speech engine, but the steps are easy, just press “Install.”

Google Skymap for Android Based Phones

Author Thomas | 12.05.2009 | Category Uncategorized

When I found SkyMap, I thought it was the coolest thing. The only problem was that the week that I downloaded and installed the app (for free), it was overcast and precipitating. The application makes use of the compass, GPS, date and time, and phone oreintation.

Below is a video from Google about SkyMap.

I didn’t know until I saw the video that the application came from Google. An absolutely brilliant application and one more reason to get an Android based phone such as the G1 with T-mobile. Soon, other phones will be released with the Android operating system installed so stay tuned.
