Do You Use High-Tech for Local Find, Maps, Directions?

[Dravyk]

Do use any devices to either find places locally or get info on them or to get you there?

For instance, looking for a bar or restaruant you don't know -- and you are outside already (so we've knocked off looking in phone books or the web at home), do you now use OnStar? Or a service like Tom-Tom? Or flip your cell and call up a place for search and maps?

Ok, how about a place you do know -- but you're on the road, not totally sure where it's at or how to get there. Same thing, car service like OnStar? A cellphone service (maybe calling Yahoo, Google or MapQuest to find how to get there?)

And lastly, now you are home and thinking of going out ... Call up friends? Look for restaurant review or map to or driving directions to the restaurant online?

Ok one more thing ... if you don't now ... what's stopping you and would you use it or plan to use it in the near future? Do you see value in it?
