Then check out GetFrog.com

This is just a simple portal but it’s a bit easier to use for those of you who don’t have a full keyboard.

You visit GetFrog on your PC and choose 4 icons to go with the 5 default icons {weather, Google, Orbitz flight information, restaurant information and Fandango}.

There are many icons to choose from. GetFrog sends you a link to your homepage with them. You click on the link from your cell phone email. I couldn’t get the link to work and ended up typing it in. But either way once you have loaded your home page and bookmarked it you’re set. So the worst case is you only have to type it in one time. Also new mobile web users may not have email set up on the phone. You could cut and paste it from your email and text it to yourself also I suppose.

You just click on the button and off you go. It is much easier than typing in urls, or trying to click on links on a small screened smart phone.

If you are new to using the web on your phone it is a good place to start.

Some people are reporting Google Maps failing to work after working fine for months. Horror of horrors how can we live with out Google Maps?

To fix this go into Google Maps and hit the menu key; Select Options -> Erase All and perform a soft reset on your phone. This seems to fix most people’s problems.

You should also set Blazer to clean out the cache on exit Menu; Options -> Preferences -> Advanced and check the ‘Clear cache on exit’

Letting caches especially those related to internet usage get large seems to be the root of many Treo online problems.

Google Maps for Palm is now at version 1.1.1 update if you are having trouble and not up to the newest version.
