Using the LG Revolution to Navigate through Traffic

The most comprehensive tool the LG Revolution has in assisting travel is its ability to use the Global Position System, or GPS for short. Your phone can use its GPS function at any time, even if it's tucked away in a LG Revolution case. GPS lets you map any current location, no matter where you are in the world. It also allows you to map the location of a destination of your choice, and to navigate your way to it. You can even use it to help you trek through the uncharted wilderness, although it's recommended you pick up a LG Revolution Screen protector if you do that.

The phone does not have the ability to provide directions on its own; this is where the versatile Android application store would come into play. Since the LG Revolution's standard operating system is the Android 2.2, you have access to the GPS applications that can be used on this platform. There are both free and premium GPS applications available on the LG Revolution, and they both cater to people with different traveling needs.

If you're on a smaller budget and don't need GPS assistance frequently, then you can opt for one of the many free GPS applications available on the smart phone. While their features aren't as expansive as what the premium applications offer, they're able to assist in simple navigation tasks. If you somehow find yourself traveling to new destinations constantly, you'll want to consider purchasing one of few premium GPS applications. These top-end applications offer a lot of valuable information, such as updated traffic information and speed limits, which can be very crucial for someone who needs to be at destination as fast as they can.

The premium GPS applications have one feature that makes them a much better choice than the free applications: The ability to work while offline, without the need of any extra LG Revolution accessories. Having the ability to assist in GPS functions while being offline is more than helpful, especially if you're traveling off the wrong path, as Internet service can be off in certain areas. Premium GPS applications also offer the ability to dictate directions to you audibly, which reduces the amount of time you need to look away from the road.

If you don't want to use GPS tracking, you can always use the 4G Internet connection that the LG Revolution has to help you navigate to where you need to go. The Internet can also be used as an adjunct to GPS tracking; if you don't have your destination address, which is vital for GPS applications, you can use a map website to pinpoint the location you're searching for. Since the Internet offers you fast access to instant messaging and social networking, you can ask any reliable friend to show you how to get there.
