My esteemed listmates,
We're helping patrons and visitors driving after Hurricane Milton.
Many are less fortunate and also less tech oriented.
Some need to take freeways they've never navigated and it's stressful
for them (and us all!).
I'm trying to help them and disabuse them of misconceptions like GPS
uses up a lot of cell data.
I've read that GPS uses radio waves from Satellites so it doesn't use cell data.

Some are interested in what they can see on their Android cell phones
like the 360 degree photos you can see on Google Maps so as you
approach a freeway exchange you can see what that exchange looks like
in real time.
Some shared using Waze or GP just provides you lines and not what
you'll actually see in real life as you drive.
Have you found any Android apps or Web sites which would be no/low
cost to use to share real time view of freeway exchanges?
Thank you all so much,
Charles.
