You’re heard of Artificial Intelligence – A.I. Chatbots. Have you ever used one? Here’s how.
We are on the road this month … and also traveling to London. We need to know the plan. Where do we need to go and when will we be there?
Google Maps cannot do this, you need specific trip planning tools. Our favorite is RVParky.com
In addition to a list view and a map view (like shown here) RVParky also has a calendar view. It is so easy to look up and tell our friends, “we plan to be there on Monday October 30.” All we need to do is look at the calendar view in RVParky.
Read the article to learn more about how we use RVParky as we travel. And let us know your favorite trip planning tools.
At first glance, Apple’s iCloud Photo Library and Google Photos appear very similar. They both can collect all your photos and put them in one library in the cloud.
But, there is a huge difference in the way they each work:
- Google Photos is a
cloud-based photo management system - Apple’s iCloud Photos is a synchronization tool to keep the photos in sync on all your Apple devices.
Read the article to learn more and decide which one is right for you.
