How to go where you want to go

Remember the stand-alone navigation units we used to have in our cars? Now it’s all in
your phone, and it doesn’t matter if you’ve got a $1500 top of the range phone or the $50
special: they all have navigation built in.

And there is no need to laboriously type in the town, the street name and the number: you can just say the address and not only will it show you where the address is and how to get there, it can also tell you of any traffic jams, how long it should take you taking those into account and with street-view you can even see what your destination looks like!

Look for an app called ‘Maps’ both on Android and iPhone, and make sure you have your
location services turned ON.
You might have to give the app some permissions, the first time you use it. A symbol should
show you where you are on the map.

There are some settings to specify if you are driving, walking or using public transport; if
you are driving you can set it to avoid toll roads, or ferries. You can get spoken directions or
just the movement on the map, you can ask for the nearest service station, cafe, ATM and
more. It is really like having your own local guide with you. And when you leave you car,
you can mark the spot where you parked so you find your car again.

There is almost no way of ever getting lost. Go try it out and play with it!
