iPhone GPS Success! Day 5

So today "The Girlfriend" and I used the iPhone's built in GPS and the Yelp Application for turn by turn directions from the Century City Mall on Santa Monica Blvd. to the the noteworthy Fathers Office restaurant in Culver City. As Borat would say, it was a great success. Yes.

We did miss a turn on Manning, but it was tiny little street with no street light. Once we turrned around, U turn, we were well on our way as we followed the little blue dot down to National Blvd and Venice.

The best way to use GPS is to find the location first. Save it as a bookmark and then press, "Ask for Directions." The iPhone does the rest and the little blue dot keeps moving on both the EDGE and 3G network. The iPhone keeps the signal regardless of your network connection.

(Special comment by "The Girlfriend:" This really only works if you have a passenger who is navigating. Do not attempt to do this while driving.)

Yeah man, that would suck if you crashed and damaged your iPhone.
