Here is one update to the last two columns I wrote about Google Maps and Waze for Android devices. Guess what? Waze released a new version of its excellent product. It has a couple of nice new features but mostly it was cosmetic with a few navigational changes. I believe it looks better, is quicker…
Last week’s column generated a lot of email questions and comments. I did not realize there were a lot of Google Maps and Waze users out there. Some people had never heard of Waze and now are trying it out. Let me know how you like or dislike it as you experiment. One person brought…
I discovered some good features on GM (Google Maps). I recently spent a week in a large city I know absolutely nothing about so I used GM extensively.

Welcome to the 15th year of "Double Click." It has been a pleasure giving you computer and tech information each week since January, 2002. Each January I review the sites I wrote about during the previous year. If the site addresses are too long for print I have shortened them using a branded short domain…
