    I like this one also, you can use the street view to see what the customer building look like and if your thinking about spending the night at the custmer you can see if there is somewhere to park

    Basically a piece of software. A button on your toolbar that gives direct access to a webste. On the android go to applictions and there should be a tab name market (you can get your apps from there) or you can always google the name of the app you want. There are a lot of free apps and some you have to pay for.

    Another great feature (depends how you look at it) is to root your phone. You can get free tethering (no more paying for wifi at the truck stop or getting a wifi card for lap top) connect to your phones wifi (its free if you phone is rooted, about $30/ month if not rooted) root at your own risk!!!

    Tunein radio app listen to your favorite radio station from any city, state or country. Listen to fm station no matter how far away you are from the city. (Ex. If your favorite station is 103fm in miami you can be in new mexico listening to it)

    Those are "QR Codes" so if you search the app market there should be a couple free apps to try out.

    Did you find the market app?

    How did we not mention the Weather Channel app. Updates based on where you are and has satellite maps and severe weather alerts.
