To me, geo-tagging in photography hasn’t really held much interest. Sure, it’s helpful when you see someones work that you admire, but generally I’ve always felt that it was kind of silly. TeleNav is looking to change that, through the use of a device that will show you images to places in your area that have been tagged. → Read More

Of course, it didn’t work while in NYC, which is sort of a given so I had to wait until I was outside… → Read More

When I switched from the Sidekick Slide, I decided to stay with T-Mobile since I’m month-to-month with them rather than jumping to AT&T or Verizon or Sprint. So my BlackBerry Curve is sans GPS, but has Wi-Fi instead. It sort of evens out.

My family recently caught the GPS bug, probably because they’re tired of hopping onto MapQuest every time they go farther than the local mall. They ask me which models/software I’d recommend and I throw out all the big names, including TeleNav, which can now be found on the HTC Advantage (TeleNav v5.1, to be exact). All the standard TeleNav rules apply here, including the $9.99 monthly… → Read More
