Hi Ilkka, thanks! I've bookmarked the instructions page for future reference. :)
The biggest thing was to get it to find this one intersection, because some bozo took the sign out, so drivers who don't know where it is have a hard time finding it. Once I got it set up as a favorite, Blindsquare did the rest. You have no idea the hours of riding around in cabs, or transit buses this is going to save me!
