The smart point of Joe's idea that you don't have to act every time
you park your car - it is automaticaly a backup for your memory.
Interaction only when it is neccessary.

Please consider that the Neo1973 will have AGPS and I can imagine that
"TI GPRS" will support E-OTD
see my mail "Some links but also questions about AGPS"
and:
http://www.freescale.com/files/ftf_2006/doc/presentations/Americas/AM107.pdf

AGPS localisation with the Neo should be usable even in a public garage
or inside your pocket.

Or you can chare information that you have visited special locations
(mountains, citys, shops, restaurants) with your friends - online or
offline.

You whanted to decide which of three restauants you visit:

China1:  Frank 4x|4days ago ****0   Stefan 6x|4weeks ago ******
Italia4: Frank 1x|4moth ago  00000
Greek7:  Frank 3*|2weeks ago *****  Marc 2x|6weeks ago ***00

When you still cant descide, just call Frank ;)


And please go on with your ideas ;)
