So.... anything new? I've been dealing with this all afternoon

FML. My poor car. :( at least I made it out with little more than a scratch and a sore neck.
 
Can someone please tell me what Han's Sister said?? I searched all of Han's posts and I can't find anything. Was the post deleted??

Don't think Han shared it. Steven got it from her somehow. (edit:<-- this could be inaccurate.)

There was a wild rumor that got everyone worked up about VZW pushing this back to Q1 2012. Steven's "source" clarified that it was a contingency plan (as did Han's sister) as an option of last resort. Basically, nothing has changed. VZW is bickering among themselves just like those of us on the interwebs about when and how this release is going down. Some say now. Some say later.
 
While I'm excited to see the continued growth in Google's 3D mapping/navigation, I still stand by my opinion on the barometer. We were discussing it here a few weeks ago and the general consensus here and in the community is that its there to "assist" in the GPS locking a little speedier with a "general" barometric reading. I don't believe the instrument in the phone will be sensitive enough to do any finite readings like tracking from one floor to the other. The barometric variance in something like that is so minuscule that the tech in this phone most likely wont be capable of observing that difference. This all has to be taken as just my opinion because I still cannot find the dang article I first read it on- of course, I quit looking when I thought the barometer discussion was over hahaha.

Oh my, I must have missed that discussion...Yea, see I was thinking the same thing--that it couldn't possibly be getting any pressure changes (I mean, ur in a building) but I didn't think GPS could detect such small altitude changes. Now that I'm thinking about it after reading your reply, I remember that some of those biking and running apps give you a summary with altitude tracking as well, so I guess barometer has nothing to do with it. Thanks for the knowledge :)

The indoor maps are nifty, and expansion seems guaranteed, considering google is allowing stores to upload their floor plans. Guess that means we won't be seeing any Google Shopping Carts at our local Westfield's. :)
