Take-out maps for mobile phones |
One wonders why it wasn't done earlier but Navitime has finally made it easy to take the map of your destination, searched for on your computer's browser, with you on your mobile phone, not on a print-out.
Well of course, using mapfan or mapion you can do that, providing you have a Docomo phone and that waiting for each super-charged-in-ads page leading to your correct destination and cutting-pasting a URL into your mail client doesn't make you print it out first.
Navitime offers that really light and fast service to all 3 AU, Vodafone and Docomo phone owners and displays under that final map a link that opens up your email client and pre-fills it for you (address in the subject line and URL in the body), or a QR code that your camera enabled phone can read and links automatically to that map on your phone's browser. Even better, if you have AU's Navi Walk service, your phone will automatically offer you to show you the way from where you are now to your destination.
Having a killer service sometimes hangs to such little details.
