Finding Your Way Is So Easy With M20 From Garmin-Asus
Ah Ben is a friend of mine. We have known each other for a very long time. Though we don’t contact each other often, we do meet up once a while. Ah Ben is in sales line, and travels to Malaysia very often.
Over the weekend, I received an MMS from Ah Ben. It was a photo of a monument. An SMS followed that said “Hey hey, long time never meet up. I am standing in front of the monument in the photo right now. Do you know where this place is? If you can find me within 20 minutes, Starbucks on me!”.
He was, actually, just joking, because he had attached the location information in his MMS. This is one of the function of Garmin-Asus M20 (Yes, Ah Ben has gotten himself a set of M20 not long ago). When GPS is ON, location information will be attached to photos we take using the phone. And, when we want to send the photo as MMS, we will be asked if we want to attach the location information together with the message. The recipient can see the location information straightaway in the MMS. In my case, I was using this M20 when I received the MMS. I could even click on the “GoTo” link, to activate the GPS system and guide me to that stated location. Actually, it is not just MMS, whenever there is an address in a SMS, email message, the phone can recognize it, and create a “GoTo” link. As long as the recipient is also using a Garmin-Asus smart phone, the “GoTo” link can be clicked and start navigation to the location. This is so easy!
MMS from Ah Ben. Clicking the “GoTo” link, Garmin system will start guiding me to the stated location.
Upon clicking on the “GoTo” link, Garmin system can navigate the user to the location, or just show the map of that location.
An address in SMS will also be converted to a “GoTo” link.
I found Ah Ben within 20 minutes. When we were enjoying our Starbuck drinks (on him of cause, sales people earns a lot you know?), he told me that he bought M20 for the built-in GPS system, especially it covers Singapore, Malaysia and Brunei. Very often he has to meet new customers at their locations. Now, he just open customers’ email or SMS in his M20, and click on the address given by them, straightaway he start finding his way to his meeting places. It is much more convenient for him. I understand how happy he is with his M20. Same goes to me, when I need to find my way to a new place on the island.
Ah Ben also talked to me about the Live-Navigation Challenge. He had already registered long time ago. He was aiming the top prize, the air tickets to Maldives. He even postponed a meeting which was originally scheduled on that Saturday morning, just to make sure that he can attend.
