So, apparently the hot new thing to do right now is send maps to your cell phone via text message.
Josh is in the middle of pulling off a nice hack to do this with weather map information. In his case, you send a text to an address, and get back a map.
Now, I see today that Google is letting you call their 1-800-GOOG411 number, say "map it", and then they'll text you a map.
Now, how about marrying it all together. Have Google wire it up so you can email like in Josh's solution, and then have Google add weather maps as a service. Best of all worlds.

I really like the Google 411 stuff. Awesome idea, and this just makes it even better. I would like to just be able to say radar, and a zip code, and get a radar map sent to my phone. On the other hand, if we all had iPhones, we wouldn't need this ;-)
