TommyLog TECH – Never Get Lost with Waze #VZWBuzz #AD

Do you remember those over-sized, folded maps of days gone by? When was the last time you actually unfolded one? Traveling has gotten so much easier with the advent of GPS. The tool I think I use almost every day to help me navigate is a app called Waze by Google. Using Waze on my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 with the 5.7″ screen is just a dream come true. The huge screen makes navigation just a breeze.

Waze take GPS navigation up a HUGE notch. It links you to other “wazers” in the area to share the happenings on the road. “Real time reports of traffic slowdowns, police presence, accidents, road hazards even gas prices can all be communicated using Waze. You can even report inaccuracies in the map to get them fixed.

**NOTE** Please be safe using Waze by only accessing it while you are stopped or by a passenger in your vehicle.

Using Waze to never get lost on my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is totally “Tommy Approved”!!

Waze can be downloaded from the Google play store or from the iTunes store and I was wrong, Waze is available for windows phone.

TommyLog TECH – Belkin WeMo Switch #VZWbuzz

When my good friends at Verizon asked me to test the new Belkin WeMo Switch, I was more than happy to do so.

This thing is just dead simple to use.  Follow a few simple instructions and you ar ready to go in under 10 min flat. Well mine took a bit longer as I had firmware to update, but my mileage may not be typical.

Anyone looking to add a bit of home automation to your life, this is a super easy way to get started.

Over the holidays I was given an opportunity to test a new iPhone 5 case called Mummy from Loop. The quick “readers digest” version is: I really like this case and use it as my daily case. You can find all the 411 at Loops website.

Hope you enjoy this review… be easy on me as this is the first one I have done. Please share your comments, good and bad
