How Do I Go? Use Vindigo
Last night, I found a unique use for Vindigo that the company probably never even envisioned. I was at a transportation hub serving two west side subway lines when a woman from overseas, laden with a backpack and another large bag, approached me. She was totally lost, having been in the country for only two days, and looking how to get to 891 Amsterdam Avenue. That's all she knew. She didn't have a cross street. I couldn't really help her and sent her over to a token booth clerk with regrets.
I stood there for a moment pondering how I could help. Finally, it dawned on me. I was carrying my Palm Pilot, and with it, Vindigo. After some trial and error, I found the address for a restaurant, complete with cross streets, near her destination. Thus armed, I tracked her down, showed her the address along with a digital map and then directed her to the 103 Street station along the 1/9 line using my handy-dandy pocket subway map. Do I see a new marketing slogan: “Vindigo, showing you the way to go”?
