I use it all the time to retrace my black outs...... seeing that on the screen make me really sad
edit. also you even need a sim card, even without a sim it will trace some basic location info

Re: Aussie forgets what hotel he's staying at in Siem Reap and has been looking for two days
I've only lost my guesthouse once. In Saigon I arrived and checked in, and went for a wander to have a look around. It was late afternoon, and between leaving and returning, all the businesses in the lane pulled their gates across so when I got back I didn't recognise anything... after walking past it maybe four times I finally realised which one was it.

The man reached out to CEO and said he did manage to find his hotel.

I did it too in Livingstone, after wasting half an hour of a driver's time it too me 3 hours wandering around in the dark before I found the hotel.General Mackevili wrote: ↑Mon Oct 01, 2018 10:47 amHaha, I did that once too, almost 20 years ago in Bangkok. Who knew it would take a couple of hours driving around looking for a hotel with the name 'Royal' in it?Anchor Moy wrote:Yeah. I've done it.
But only took me 4 hours to find my way back - from 5am to 9am from memory. Won't happen again. And at least it's not on facebook.
Silence, exile, and cunning.
