I have to admit, I’m admiring the turn-by-turn navigation on my Android phone more every day.

I used to have one of those “traditional” GPS units, and it was a pain… I had to subscribe (and pay) to update its database all the time, and it relied on me to know (and enter) the address every time I went anywhere.

Turn-by-turn Navigation on Android is so well integrated into the overall experience, that none of that matters, anymore.

I can speak the name of a client, the App pulls it from my contacts, and I’m off and driving in the blink of an eye.

Better yet, I can speak the name of any business, and it’s loaded with driving instructions before I turn the key.
