Yup, my new smart phone is a pain but for every time I want to throw it out I find something new and useful, like google earth or other mapping stuff that is really helpful at work and play.

literally still have places atop hills here that people go and park to get service,nothing to see 2-3 cars at the same spot with people sitting there talking on the phone.

Yeah, like the end of my camp driveway.

i walk up on top of my driveway hill....my home is a camp.

It is a very useful tool.

A few days ago a farmer friend stopped by and we were yakking about different stuff. He ask how many fox I caught on his farm so far. He then asked why I never trapped the upper lane above the woods. I didn't know it existed.

I whipped out my phone and opened Google Maps. The two of us studied the satellite view of his farm, found the lane and I saw that it connected to a faint two-track that lead down to the bridge near where I always set three or four traps. It looks like I'll be able to make a big loop and drop in a few more sets.

This guy was never into computers until recently. He would ask me to look things up when I visited him. He surprised me when I opened the app by asking, "Is that Google Maps?" He has bought himself a lap top and is learning.

im with you lug,i embrace the technology. Very useful tools

new ya'd chime in.

Computers are great tools, especially with internet access, LIKE HERE.
Most people overlook the fact that the smart phone they have in their hand is really a high end computer that one can make phone calls on.
No, I have a flip phone. Google Earth would be nice to have in my hand, but not for the extra money every month. At least not now.

I figured that's why you posted that.
