I never get lost, which sometimes annoys and sometimes enthralls my best-beloved. The Swann Boys as a bloodline are endowed with an extra-large kinesthesia gene. I can find my way around in cities I have been to only once, decades ago. Whenever we travel, I do all the driving, because even when I don’t know where I am, I am in the process of mapping the whole place in my mind.<\/p>\n
This turns out to be a real advantage in the real estate business. I never forget how to get to a house I’ve been to before. I know at once when the listing agent’s driving directions are wrong — as they are at least 20% of the time. I know every back-way sneak-around in Greater Phoenix.<\/p>\n
Cathy is a great driver, and she is not directionally-challenged. But in strange neighborhoods, she doesn’t know by the magic of kinesthesia where she is. She maps her showings, which I never do, and then works those maps carefully as she drives.<\/p>\n
So here is great news, which Cathy discovered yesterday: Google Mobile Maps is supporting the Treo line of cell phones<\/a>. This might be old news. I had looked at GMM when it was new, but it was useless to us without Treo support.<\/p>\n This is not the ultimate perfect mapping solution. We grow so fast that no mapping software can keep up. But it’s a big improvement over schlepping a 100+ page map book.
