Call up “DIR-ECT-IONS” (clever) on your way to the car and tell the friendly robot who answers where you want to go, and you can have a route beamed to your Dash GPS over the web instantly. Dial Directions already works with a few other online and mobile services, but this Dash integration is a pretty great trick. Just pair your mobile number with your Dash to get started, and start entering routes without having to stoop over and tap in your directions. [Dial Directions - Thanks, Dave!]
Remember Google’s decision to launch ocean mapping? Well, now we know why. It appears that Google Maps is recommending people Kayak their way from Canada to Australia.
I know that Google Maps doesn’t always offer the best directions to get from A to B, but the mere fact that the Kayak was included as a valid mode of transportation is hilarious. I mean, don’t you think that if you’re at an airport to start with (even if it’s in Canada), the best way for international travel would be to fly?
Or maybe they were just inspired by these guys.
