iPhone Tips at the Beach

[jimwarden]

I found myself at the beach in Destin, FL just a few days after getting my new iPhone, and wanted to pass along some tips on using it at the beach.

#1 - Use Google Maps to find and then give directions to your travel destination. It did an amazing job. It saved all the turn by turn directions, so even when we passed through a national refuge that had no Edge signal the directions were available.

#2 - To protect it from water and sand while on the beach, I put it into a Snack Size Glad Zipper ziplock bag. You can view the screen, and the touch screen still works. It doesn't get too hot.

#3 - I found that the screen is hard to see when you are wearing polarized sunglasses. Otherwise screen is very easy to see in bright sun.

#4 - Use Google Maps to find and then give directions to local restaurants and shops you want to visit. Wow, has this saved us time! I love the Google Maps application. I can see real estate sales people buying it for this feature alone.

#5 - Just to rub it in that you not only have an iPhone, but also time to play at the beach, use the camera to take and send photos to your friends and colleagues.

here's what I did at the beach: I popped the sim card out of my iphone, slipped it into my razr and took the raze to the beach. No way my iphone gets anywhere the beach!
