I know, I know, it’s a phone and a pretty snazzy one at that! But there are lots and lots of other things that your iPhone can do other than allow you to make and receive phone calls. It really is amazing. Well, at least it is to ME!
I have always been know in my family for getting lost no matter how good the directions given to me. One I was out to dinner and I asked where the rest room was and they kind gentleman told me to you go straight until you couldn’t go any further. So I literally did exactly what the gentleman told me and I ended up outside in the alley. I swear that is true and I doubt that I will ever live it down. So imagine my surprise and happiness when I discovered that I could use my iPhone to keep me from getting lost!
This phone really can keep you from getting lost! Crazy but true! And in more than one way!

There are built in apps that come with your phone that will give you step-by-step instructions! And believe it or not, it doesn’t matter whether your are walking, driving, taking the bus, or even riding your bike!!

Yes, of course, there are other methods to employ as well but I didn’t want overload you with information. I find it a lot easier when I do these things one at a time! But I can tell you that I have used this method and it most definitely works! The only problem I have now is, I have no good excuse for being late because I got lost!
