A smartphone is a mobile personal computer with a mobile operating system with features useful for mobile or handheld use. Smartphones, which are typically pocket-sized (as opposed to tablets, which are much larger than a pocket), have the ability to place and receive voice/video calls and create and receive text messages, have personal digital assistants (such as Siri, Google Assistant, Alexa, Cortana, Bixby), an event calendar, a media player, video games, GPS navigation, digital camera and video camera. Smartphones can access the Internet through cellular frequencies or Wi-Fi and can run a variety of third-party software components ("apps" from places like Google Play Store or Apple App Store). They typically have a color display with a graphical user interface that covers the front surface. The display is almost always a touchscreen that enables the user to use a virtual keyboard to type words and numbers and press onscreen icons to activate "app" features.

In the third quarter of 2012, one billion smartphones were in use worldwide. Global smartphone sales surpassed the sales figures for feature phones in early 2013.

I personally use the Waze app (free) and it works very well. My commute between home and work doesn't offer many side streets, but I could see the app re-routing people in the cities.
Should side streets be locals-only during rush hour?
