NU12#10: Mall Navigator Thru Your Smartphone
By Gio Mendoza

Malls just keep on getting bigger and bigger as the years go by. If you are not a frequent shopper, it takes a lot of time to locate a shop. Even with digital maps in malls, it is still not that easy and convenient to locate the shop you just want to go to or memorize the path suggested by the touch screen digital map you just used near the entrance. A smart phone app which can give you accurate information of where you are and which shop you are going can be very helpful instead, specially if you are in a hurry. Most malls have wi-fi, or smartphones can be on data plan so one can easily connect or access the free service thru this app, and once the app is launched from your smartphone for the mall you have chosen, it will pinpoint your location and you can track your movement if you are near or if you are in the right direction real time. It also gives you the shortest way to get to your destination shop. During super sale and holidays, malls are really jam packed with shoppers and this app can come in handy, it saves you the headache and you can navigate thru the crowd with less effort for any malls in Manila.  3.5  <tama, magaling>
