Mobile Maps

Sometimes it isn't convenient to carry a lot of stuff on your scooter. Like an atlas. But one thing that I always carry is my mobile smart phone. So I downloaded Google Mobile Maps. It's like having Google Maps in the palm of your hand, anywhere.
Go to http://www.google.com/gmm/index.html and check it out. Take the tour: there is a little java app that will simulate how it works. There are also instructions on how to download it to your phone. It will even work paired with a GPS device, if you have one. I don't, but man, that'd be sweet.
I spend a lot more time on winding back roads with the scooter than I do with the car, and this is going to really save me from getting lost.
