Favorite GPS, mobile services

About 10% of mobile phones are GPS enabled, according to American Technology Research. If you have one of these phones, you might want to consider two of my favorite services - MapQuest Mobile and Telenav.

Mapquest costs $4 a month, and is used to help you find places from wherever you are without you having to know where you are. Telenav is a $9 a month and is a navigational device. If you want a voice-guided system on your phone, Telenav works really well. I demonstrated how both worked on MarketWatch Weekend, which airs on CBS.

My review of GPS-enabled phones and services

Bambi,

No accusation intended here, but during your review I didn't hear a disclaimer that none of the companies whose products you reviewed paid you for your review. With the stealth aspect of advertising continuing to grow, I think this has become a requirement in the product review space. Consumer Reports has always emphasized its vendor independence. If you want your work to be credible, I think you need to do that as well.
