google maps saves lives
Tonight I used google maps to help guide a client to our location. Typically I suck at directions, I dont know south from west, east to whatever, you get the idea. So what do you do when you get a client freaking out on the phone about how she has just 10 mins to get to your location and has no idea where she is?
Get the cross street information.
The old way would be to ponder and ask about five people around me, yer looking for the guise of confirmation, that nod that says yep yer right tell her.
The NEW way is google maps. Get her cross street info, feed it into google maps, then do directions end point your location and now guide her every step of the way. When she arrived she was happy. I have to say tracking or assisitng a user this way was hella fun. Kinda felt like 24 for a second there.
