This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

This was a unique point in time when people had cell phones but had to carry a phonebook because there was no mobile internet. Some time between 1992 and 2005?
later than 2005 for most people, the first iPhone was released in 2007, first Android phone in 2008, those things made a lot more people practically able to access the Internet from outside, and even then it took until 2009 to 2011 for many people to get one
Google maps didn't exist prior to the iPhone/android period as well, so people with blackberrys didn't have access to that before Android/iphone 07-08
Google Maps seems to have been launched in 2005, so it did exist, though maybe not as a smartphone app.
Yeah it was a website like MapQuest, just a bit better.
It still is a website too, that was never abolished.
