TAMPA, Fla. — New technology on your smartphone is making Black Friday shopping a little easier this year. 

Smart phones are helping guide shoppers through stores and helping them pay without waiting in a long checkout line. 

Walmart launched the "check out with me" mobile cash registers Thursday night. It allows store employees to check out customers virtually anywhere in the store. 

It is all done through the store's app, so there is no cash or credit cards being handed out. 

Some stores like Walmart are also giving you a real-time GPS map of the inside of the store, allowing you to search for a specific item, right down to the aisle and the shelf it's on.
