   There's an app for the iPhone called CodeRunner where you play spy - you follow   
   "suspects" on a map based on your location; it's a lot of fun if you have time   
   for it. You mark locations as a "drop" by taking pictures of them and marking   
   them on the map, and "downloading" information from other "agents".   
      
   It's a lot of fun.   
      
   I like the idea of Serendipitor. I'm getting just old enough that I'm getting   
   set in my ways with regards to driving directions.
