Using Google Maps for Public Transit Directions
|
You do NOT want to drive in London! There are plenty of "Tube" stations and buses to get you anywhere you want to go ... IF you know how. Google Maps is our GoTo app for navigating everywhere else - when in London we learned how good it was for navigating Public Transportation.

|
Google Maps Live View helps us SO much when walking around in unfamiliar cities.
|
Google Photos can make a phone call from a photo of a business card.
|
It's magic! If you have a photo of business card, you can view it in Google Photos, tap a button, tap the phone number, and make a call!

Sending a photo directly from one Android to another with "Nearby Share."
|
People with iPhones have had the ability to “Airdrop” photos amongst themselves for a long time. They think nothing of simply saying, “will you airdrop that photo to me?” When the sender complies, the photo magically appears in the receiver’s camera roll. Easy-peasy. Android users have the same functionality, and it is now just as easy as airdrop. It’s called “Nearby Share.”
