Hi Jean, My answers are inline and are prefixed by my initials.
<snip I find this whole thing most confusing. Are you saying that in order to go anywhere for the first time you have to look it up on the internet? PL] Yes. You need to access the google maps route generator and enter your source and destination and generate the check points file. <snip Suppose you are out somewhere and you spontaneously decide you want to go somewhere else you haven't been before. Is there a way to get a route somehow? PL] Yes. You can do the whole route downloading on the phone but it is not easy to do. <snip If it incorporates Google Maps, Nokia Maps or whatever, does it also read other information found on these maps? PL] Loadstone does not incorporate google or nokia maps. It just uses these maps to generate output it can use to navigate. <snip If a person is standing in a place and wants to know what's around is it possible to get that information? PL] In loadstone yes but it depends on the points you have loaded for that location. <snip Is this potentially better than Wayfinder Access because presumably nokia/google maps are more frequently updated? PL] Hard to say. Perhaps yes but things like rerouting are not available using this approach. Pranav To unsubscribe send a message to [email protected] with the subject unsubscribe.
