You can attach the latitutdinal and longitudinal coordinates of exactly where you shot a video and photograph. (2MP dig camera and 2 hours of video capability) You can then PC-FREE (no computer or datacable needed) upload OTA (Over The Air) to YouTube and Flickr. (Flickr shows on a map using the Geo-Tag exactly where you shot the photograph) <BR/><BR/>2) GPS - There are multiple LBS (Location Based Services) available on the Helio Ocean.<BR/><BR/>a) Google Maps - This is not just a maping service. It actually provides up to 300 feet of accuracy, knows your location (as shown with a blue blinking dot) and comes with a full business search, directions, restaurant menus (and any other data they provide), and LIVE TRAFFIC! <BR/><BR/>b) Buddy Beacon - Imagine taking your AOL, Yahoo, or MSN IM list onto a map. You can see where your friends are and meet up! This is not a voyeristic service, but more of a 'pinging' service. Helio uses color codes to indicate the time inbetween your last 'ping.' <BR/><BR/>c) Garmin - Voice Turn-By-Turn GPS. Need I say more? This is $9.99/mo or $3.99 per day. Excellent addition, but Google Maps does the same thing without voice and re-routing. Depends if you want to spend the $$.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
