Getting around the Bay Area just got easier!A new service from "www.dialdirections.com" just started this week and it is a killer direction getter app.
I just tried it out and I now feel sure I will be able to get home quickly and safely this afternoon. (that is if I don't run into a parked car trying to read text messages on my bike!)
Here is how it works...
Just call "Dir-ect-ions" or 347-328-4667 on your mobile phone. A vary nice computer voice will ask you a few questions about where you are, where you are going and where you are coming from. When you have answered the questions you will receive a text message (or a few messages) on your phone. I tried it with a few places, like from work to home, and it worked great.
It works for addresses, cross streets, chain restaurants etc, and even some events (like the Autumn Moon Festival in SF China Town and possibly the Calvary Moon Festival if I did the posting correctly). And it is FREE.Try it out. Along with Google 411 and Jott you will be armed with all the numbers to make your mobile devise a regular Swiss Army Phone.
Reporting from my small (now with directions) place in the world...
