Never Be Lost Again!

Have a Java J2ME- enabled mobile phone or other device? If so, you are in luck! Google has rolled out its new Mobile GMaps, which is a free piece of software to throw on your mobile device. It basically allows your device to display the famous Google Maps and keynote satellite imagery.

I foresee technology like this getting people out to the polls. Imagine, on Election Day, a campaign sending people detailed directions and maps to their phones directing them from preciously where they are standing to their precinct station. It may clear up the problem of people getting lost or going to the wrong station and offer a friendly voting reminder for those on the go.

There are way more uses than just election day. Getting to turf to persuade or mobilize door to door? Or getting back to your pick up point after the canvass day is over? Man, I wish we'd had that back when I was canvassing.
