The "Google, where did I leave my keys?" joke is getting closer to feature status, and that's probably what's going on with Google Maps. Anecdatum: last month I was driving out for a weekend in some rural bungalows a few miles outside a small city (Elvas, Portugal). The address was a bit vague, the place name too common, so much so that I had GPS coords stowed away in a message pic (don't ask ;-). So, when I pop out Google Maps in the old faithful iPad2 (which happens to be the 3G version, and therefore GPS chipped, good for navigation), and zoom in the area ... amidst thin local roads and lots of blank space, there's the place name and the days we're staying there. Turns out the Gmail app in that iPad was also used to send or review the emails with the reservations. Even in my 'desktop' I've been noticing Google Maps marking out city places which seem small compared to other landmarks, but where I often go or mention in emails. (Thanks, I do know where I left my keys today, I'm good.) |
