I've been reviewing hardware and software, devising testing methodology and handed out buying advice for what seems like forever; I'm currently absorbed by computers and gaming hardware, but previously spent many years concentrating on cameras. I've also volunteered with a cat rescue for over 15 years doing adoptions, designing marketing materials, managing volunteers and, of course, photographing cats.

Google Maps has been incorporating the layouts of large public indoor spaces for several year.  Now, the latest update to Google Find My Device adds the capability to locate your phone in airports, malls, stadiums and other venues where you're likely to misplace it. 

The new Find My Device feature could come in handy if you venture out to brick-and-mortar stores on Black Friday and it falls out of your pocket in the crush.

Check out all the Black Friday deals at Walmart, Target, Best Buy and other retailers.
