    So do you have to adb into the phone in order for this to work? I hate having to slog through countless pages of "omg it's not working halp" and "yes it is, you're just dumb" posts to FINALLY get to the part where someone lays out how to initiate the darn thing.

    Oh well, let's see if I can get this thing working. #googlemapsnavigationg1

    @FooSchnickens - BPH Free: Ok, looks like I got it working. It does use ADB to push everything to the phone so be sure you have the drivers on your computer before you start.

    Now all I need is a car adapter that will also work with the phone's sound output and I'm all set. My iPod is feeling more and more obsolete these days. It's kind sad. :( #googlemapsnavigationg1

    @00000000: Seems to work just like the review giz posted earlier this month. I agree on the voice being a bit grating at times, but it gets the job done. It even knew the secret back way I use to get to work that avoids all the traffic.

    I'll have to fiddle with it some more this weekend whilst running some errands. #googlemapsnavigationg1

    Well, that pretty much decides it for me. I'm waiting it out to see if the G1 will get an official update, but if the other phones get it and the G1ers don't, I'm going back to rooting.

    In reply to Google Maps Shows You the Way to Your Swine Flu Vaccine
    Well, Flu season has barely started. Fortunately, h1n1 is still no more severe than normal flu. But infection rates are unprecedented. Just take a look at the graph here: [www.cdc.gov]
    We are 25% higher than the peak of last season, and we are still in the 200940's. the peak will likely happen between 200950 and 201010 on the x-axis.
    I and all my family (including my 7 month old) have gotten the h1n1 shot. No ill effects whatsoever.

    @dragon: ONE: the difference is that avian flu never went pandemic. It still does not easily pass human-to-human. One mutation could make it so. Then we have a real problem on our hands - because all evidence indicates avian flu is significantly more fatal than even the 1918 A strain. #swineflu

    @Thomas Thorne: not really freaky, but really mundane. H5n1 (avian flu) doesn't infect humans well because it doesn't bind to mucus membranes in the front of the nasal cavity like human flus (h1n1, h3n1) do. If it reassorts with, say, h1n1 in the body of some unlucky human or bird, it could very easily become highly infectious. That type of thing happens with influenza. Not often, fortunately. But definitely possible. #swineflu

    In-car satellite TV never made sense - why waste $1300 and $20-30 a month on something you ever only use at most 30-40 minutes a day - and then only on maybe one or two days a month?

    The driver doesn't benefit from the system - they can't watch the TV either way and there's no programming FOR adults (it's all cartoons - and crappy ones at that).

    Only way in-vehicle satellite TV works is if you're going cross-country in an RV. And then I'd just stick with a prepaid DishNow system or else just use free-to-air (and accompanying hacks to get onto Dish). Or if I were smart, I'd stray towards RV parks with free WiFi and just Hulu all the shows I want to see when traveling. #gizmodoremainders
