Turn your cellphone into a free GPS.
Want directions but don't have GPS service?
Now mobile phone users in San Francisco, New York City and Los Angeles can dial DIRECTIONS (347-328-4667), say where you are and where you're going.
Dial Directions sends a text message with driving directions supplied through MapQuest.
The service is free but includes an ad at the end of the text message.
The next services I see is a link to the MapQuest map included in the text message.
Relevant ads (based on location) should be included in the direction text.

Hi Scott
Interesting article, have you tried the service? I am based in France so I haven't tried it for myself.
I noticed the lady in the cartoon is sat in a car while using her mobile phone. She perhaps isn't be actually driving but still not great marketing, it could backfire (excuse the pun!)
Best regards

dude, this is a wonderful tool.
I used to use Dial Directions regularly. Now, when I call it, I am told that I cannot be connected as dialed. Has something happened to Dial Directions. I have called on other people's phones, same thing.
