Kyle G's Blog

So the other day, I was lying in bed thinking about how long it would take my friend and I to drive to Florida or Massachusets, and then I dreamed up an amazing feature/idea for it.

I think that it’d be really cool if, when you request directions on Google Maps, that when you mouseover part of the route, rather than saying:

Drag To Change Route

My idea is that it would instead display pertinent trip information. Such as:

• Distance Traveled
• ETA (Estimated Time of Arrival)
• Popular cities would show up with relevant links, such as finding hotels, rest stops, whatever.
• So many more possibilities.

Here’s a really crude example:

Pertinent Information

I’m surprised this functionality does not already exist, but I felt innovative thinking of it.

TLDR (Too Long, Didn’t Read) Summary: On google maps, when you mouse over a route (When getting directions), the mouse over would pop up with your ETA for the point where your mouse is located.

Let me know your thoughts!

Hello Internet,
Lately I’ve been enjoying my new Sprint HTC Evo 4G a lot. However, one problem I, and a couple others have run into, is that our alarms would not go off! After doing some research and testing, I realized that every night I, and most people, use our Task Killers to kill all tasks on our phones. This, unfortunately, also kills the alarm program.

The solution is easy, open up your favorite task killer program, and add the clock application to the “Ignore” or “Exempt” list, and the issue should clear right up.

Until next time!
