Today, out of

During our
TVL training, STA train us use the Street Directory to search for
Name & Location of Building.

And it's true
that the Street Directory is very useful to locate any Building or
Apartment etc.
But if you
have an iPhone with, why don’t try to make use of the latest
technology.
Try to
installed some GPS Application, the best is FOC.
Out of so
many iPhone GPS Apps, most of them cost you a Bomb. But there are
still some excellence FOC iPhone GPS Apps.

If you are
carry an iPhone, try to download and installed these applications
then try to compare with searching with your hard copy of Street
Directory by Might Minds.
Example : A
Pax board your cab and said Uncle I want to go to Pinehurst Condo
or a Ang Mo board your cab and said Uweei Building
Please.
How long you
take to locate these address with hard copy of Street Directory and
How long your iPhone Apps (OneMap or Singapore Maps) take to locate
your Pax designation.
Beside act as
a Street Directory, these applications still can direct you to your
searched designation.
Use your
iPhone OneMap Singapore to locate Uweei Building follow by press
the “Get Direction” then “Go” Key, within seconds it show the
routes from your current location to Uweei Building.
Off course it
may not the Best routes but at least it give you a guide to your
Pax designation.
Since you
have invested so much to get an iPhone then make full use of
it.
you talk so much so much like the iphone and its apps are godly but
do you know you might have missed the main problem? all these need
a good data connection, but becos so many people sign up iphone and
andriod they need to sign plans with data lines. now almost all the
telcos data connections are cockup. you can get a signal one second
then lose it the next, then it appear again intermittently for the
next 2-3 hours. like that, even if you use a SUPERMAN phone, it is
still junk when the 'sky' dont cooperate.
