Also, if you go to http://maps.google.com and do a search for your "hotspot <your-zipcode>" it'll pull up a right nice list that way too...so you can map from your location and find the fastest route to get to the closest hotspot...I *LOVE* Google!!!

Can someone help me define Hotspot? Are there different types? Free vs for-fee?

Another very useful Google trick is to use your cell phone to text a place you're looking for (Say, a Kinkos?) and the zip code you're in ('kinkos 66104') to '46645' (googl), and Google will give you back the two closest locations, with their address and phone numbers - great when you're on the road, in a bind, no internet access, and you need the info quick. I know this works for Verizon, not sure about other carriers.

Yah there is both free and not free hotspots. I haven't went around trying hotspots yet. Sounds like fun though. I recall there was another site with more hotspots. _______________________________________________ Kclug mailing list [email protected] http://kclug.org/mailman/listinfo/kclug
