there has been an interface change since the last 2 updates on Navigon. the map tab now has a main menu and doesn't display a usable map. I have had this confirmed visually. there could be an invisible frame that neither I or my room mates can access. prior to 2 updates ago, I could get a displayable map that I could finger around and have nearby streets read to me. I cannot seem to do that now.
I am going to try some other GPS apps but I am not holding out hope that I will have any success. as an aside, Sendero needs to release their full gps app. the lookaround version is limited in such a fashion that it makes getting around difficult (listing local points of interest and direction plus distance). I need something that can give me turn-by-turn, read local streets around me, current location, etc. so far, I have to use 5 different apps to get the functionality that would be very nice in one single app. -eric On Apr 22, 2012, at 1:59 AM, Krister Ekstrom wrote: > Hi, > But have i misunderstood anything here?
