Speaking of Break a leg. Watch out for those slippery roofs. A friend of mine in London is a satellite installer and he almost slipped of a roof once.

Have you tried Google Maps Mobile? I haven't tried Mapquest mobile, but really like Google's version.

So today was so simple.. the work van has a nice GPS with voice directions in it.. The laptop we have to set up the internet service is a MacBook Pro 15" with windows xp and MacOS X installed.. it has a Sprint EVDO ExpressCard for wireless internet everywhere.. 3 installs today all out in Livonia.. my first time driving in that mess and boy it was.. The job was tons of fun though.. really easy except the high pitch roofs.. gotta get some new soft soled tennis shoes for it..

Impressive setup, wouldn't a GPS Incar Navigation Doodad be a bit more practical?
