I have not, but here's how the Sendero app works if you want to get from where you are to somewhere else. 1. Open the app and tap "routes" or "POIs". 2. If you selected "routes", you can enter an address, do a POI search, choose "route to home", or select from the last couple routes you have created. If you chose "POIs" instead, you can search for your POI or get a list of all the ones around you. Double tap one to select it. 3. Now that you have the destination, you are presented with several route options: vehicle (fastest), vehicle, pedestrian, getting warmer, and multi-modal. Pick the type of route you want and that's it; the app will now give you spoken directions, using VO speech (so don't lock the phone) to your destination. It also says upcoming intersections and nearby POIs, if you have enabled those options. On Jul 4, 2013, at 11:40 AM, Brian Fischler <[email protected]> wrote:
