Hi Alex Think about this too. You don't always need the turn by turn because a lot of times you may be going places that you already know, but you want BlindSquare for the bus stop. I had the situation today. I knew exactly where the place was that I wanted to go to, but the Dallas area rapid transit GPS on the bus was not working. This is something that happens quite often, and you never know when it's going to happen. So, I was able to find my own busstops. But I didn't need NAVIGON this time because I didn't need to turn by turn. Also, in this case I didn't really want very much announcement on points of interest because I wanted to come straight home. Regards, Gigi
