Taking Apps on the Road with iPhone and iPad
With summer coming up fast, I should point out Travel on the Grid, a helpful article on travel apps in the May issue of Costco Connection – programs that can help you find your way on vacation and even recommend restaurants, attractions, etc., and guide you right to them. They go far beyond the capabilities of regular old GPS, and even help you out with medical emergencies. One of the more unique applications is Google Goggles, which lets you take a picture of a landmark and then tells you all about it. It's part of the Google Mobile App package.
Of course, Costco is a discount source of several types of smartphones and cellphone plans. This guide directs you where to download what you need on an iPhone, iPad, Android or other phones or tablets. Happy driving.
