    I have a iPhone 4 and my contract is almost up,i have heard that the Siri on the iPhone 4s can answer any questions.(i am having a hard time believing that)if any one uses the Siri and can answer this question will help me decide weather i up grade to 4S or get a different phone,

    What i am curious about is if i am using a GPS like tel nav or Google maps ,if i ask Siri if there are low bridges on the route is it possible that that information is available to Siri? I know its far fetched but if possible i will go buy one today lol

    siri does help at times if it knows the answer. I wouldn't depend on her to get you all that info.

    Get the latest Rand McNally road atlas. It has all the info you need. Most people don't bother looking through them now since this GPS craze has become a crutch for most new guys. If you flip through it you will come across a ton of info. States with bridges under 14 foot have them listed in the front before the maps start.

    Screw the GPS. Learn how to use the map for everything! My first year out I could barely afford to pay attention let alone a GPS and cell phone. You will be amazed at how much more you learn when you use the tool between your ears instead of a program. When you have to pay attention to what road you are on and every sign it will make you a better driver. To many people just look at the GPS and follow the purple line not having a clue where they actually are.
