Google the vegan restaurant you’ve been dying to try, or whose address you’re unsure of, then click on the “reviews, directions, menu, and more” link and then the “View Larger Map” link to enter Google Maps. Alternatively, you can find a location directly through Google Maps itself.

Once in Maps, clicking the “Send” link will open a pop-up giving you the option to send to Email, Car (navigation systems for Mercedes-Benz and BMW), Cell Phone, or your TomTom or Garmin GPS (GPS must be connected to your computer).

We think the ability to send to a GPS is especially handy. You can load up your GPS with all of your favorite and/or desired destinations before you head out the door. Then, you won’t be saddled with the task of entering them into the GPS while you’re out on the road.

And, of course, if you don’t have a GPS, you can always opt to send the details to your cell phone.

When you’re on the road, be it for work or pleasure, it can be difficult to find an independent coffee house near you that offers free wi-fi and that soy latte, or mocha you’re craving. Enter Starbucks.

Ubiquity is perhaps Starbucks’ greatest advantage — they’re everywhere and, luckily, they always offer soy milk, albeit for an extra charge.

Now, with the purchase of a pre-paid Starbucks Card, you can get 2 hours of free wi-fi daily, and bypass the soy milk (and syrup!) surcharge on your latte and mocha orders. The card also allows you to get unlimited free refills on regular coffee and, when buying a pound of beans, a free 12oz. beverage. Starbucks may not be your first choice coffee stop but, in a pinch, it will definitely do!
