Driving with the Android Powered Droid X

Published almost 2 years ago

This past weekend, I traveled to Greenwich, Connecticut (about 30 minutes outside of New York City) for a wedding. It was a wonderful wedding, though my drive was not very pleasant, at all.

First off, I mistakenly drove straight north on 95 through the cross-Bronx expressway and the traffic sucked, as usual for that neck of the road, even though the rest of the drive was smooth. On the way back, I took the Tappan Zee bridge and thankfully the drive into New Jersey was smooth, but the rest of the drive was plagued by seriously bad Sunday Summer travel traffic. Doh!

Android's Google Navigation GPS System

Despite the traffic problems, I got the chance to try out the navigation service provided by Google on my new Android-powered Droid X on the Verizon Wireless network.

Its not the best, but it might just be good enough for me to retire my Garmin GPS - at least because the maps in my Garmin GPS are getting outdated.

Hands Free Bluetooth Driving with an Aftermarket Car Stereo in my Toyota Corolla

I was also able to try out the hands free Bluetooth pairing with the Droid X and the new stereo I put in my Toyota Corolla.
