Simon (especially),

I'm trying to figure out the exact same thing you were hung up on, can you 
(or anyone else that knows) please inform on what changes you made to get 
it working? I've tried doing exactly what you demonstrated in your example 
and run into the same issues:
https://gist.github.com/simonh1000/9368f9dbd7f93646207ec27fdf3662a2.

I've also tried using the elm-route-url package, but it seems every time 
delta2url is called "previous" and "current" are always the same, and never 
represent what was just clicked. Here's what I tried on that front:
https://gist.github.com/ssciantarelli/0cba172048f3c9c28754ba4d0ac5a6b1

Finally, I have a StackOverflow post that ultimately explains where I'm 
going with this if anyone cares to comment/answer over there:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/41169224/is-it-possible-to-drive-elm-app-with-existing-navigation-constructed-outside-of

Thanks all.
