I try out all of the travel apps that I can. It’s hard to deny the usefulness of all that gps-aware computing power right in your pocket. But I have to wonder, why is Google Earth the number one free travel app? Yes, it’s cool. Yes, it’s neat. But how are people using it that keeps it in the top spot?
Other than the cool factor and nice graphics, I haven’t found it as fast, intuitive and local as many of the other offerings out there. What am I missing?
