[Crazysah]

Worth it I guess as well.

 

[Sushubh]

i have a bad feeling. navigation by phone is not really going to work out.

 

[Crazysah]

Why not?

 

[Sushubh]

i am lost. how would i tell the person on the phone where i am? so they can track my position using my mobile phone. good. but how can they tell me the directions to the right place? i am not sure what this service is planning to do. i think they are just going to track where your phone is... or where a person carrying that phone is... i thought they were going to provide navigation services through phones. i was probably mistaken.

Yeah that is what I thought as well. Navigation services through the phone. What exactly are they providing then?
