Lou MC Yelps a Lot

I'm addicted with #Yelfie. I wrote a blog last December about Take a Yelfie . Since then, there are so many good things happening. So, let's start with how to use it. First, you need Yelp app on iPhone or Android phone. Second, check in at a biz. Click on the rectangle on the upper left side. 4 easy steps on Android phone. Easy to use on iPhone as well. Third, point at an object what is a least 5 feet away and tap on the circle button on the bottom of screen. Fourth, take a selfie of you or something within 2 feet (flip the camera). Fifth, edit your Yelfie with the features available. see below. Feature  on  Android phone - move biz name & selfie photo Feature on iPhone - change font on biz name & move selfie photo. Finally, tap "check in" or the check mark. Your Yelfie will be shared to the destinations of your choice. Yelfie shared on Facebook from iPhone & Android phone.

How cool is that? Take a Yelfie to proof you were there. Read this blog on Yelp . Well, it's kind of annoying at first. But, okay. I admit. It's fun once I get used to it. Taking this Yelfie bumped my data usage. I noticed this on a recent Android release 9.0.1 in December. But  someone  in Canada received this feature in November. Huh. Nu Ice has free WiFi. Don't expect my Yelfie at all check-ins. The only time I can share Yelfie is when I find free WiFi to use. Sorry.

I discovered this feature on my Android phone by accident. Since the role out of beta version 8.7.0, I posted a photo on the Yelp Android Beta Tester Community on March 28. It's pretty neat to see it on an Android app. Let's compare them: Go to the Talk with lots of links. Click on one of the links and watch it on your phone.  See? Android on the left; iPhone on the right.

I have been searching for a perfect combination of "send to car" convenience on a GPS - linking business location search to GPS. I learned about this during car shopping last year. I saw few car manufacturers had Google's Send to Car feature. But the cost of on-board GPS does not justify the feature. My recent GPS purchase from best buy and a phone upgrade got me interested to revisit this again. So I experimented with several ways to copy an address to GPS. This is only possible with Android. Here is how: On Yelp app, click on direction or the map.  Tap on MORE icon (...) and select on Garmin Smartphone Link app to complete the action.  When the location is shown, tap on NEXT icon (>) and select SAVE. turn on Bluetooth on both devices and begin to synchronize. On Garmin GPS, tap on Where to and select Saved. Voila! You're ready to take off. Garmin nüvi 2597LMT Portable GPS works well with Yelp If you hear me saying, "I bookmarked it on my...
