BliP for Navigation and Distance to your Friends
Here is something pretty cool you can do in a jiffy with Blip.
1. First select the friend you want to get directions to.
2. Then get a location or map his latest location.
3. Start the internal GPS of your BlackBerry to get your location.
4. In the BlackBerry Maps menu choose the “Get Direction” function.
5. Select your Current Location as your Start Location. (Make sure you started your internal GPS or have your actual current location).
6. Select your End Location as the one you got from Blip of your friend.
Et voilà! You now get the distance in between you and your friend and step by step driving instructions to get to him.
