About this listen

Smartphones can tell you when to depart for the airport to make your flight, provide voice-guided directions on the way there, and route around traffic jams. But if you wanted to get audio directions to a specific counter at the airport, you’d be out of luck. That requires a phone to understand its position in great detail, all on its own - even when it is deep inside a building, beyond the reach of GPS signals. Even the most sophisticated phones can’t do that.

"The Next Must-Have Smartphone Feature" is from the September/October issue of Technology Review.
