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? As i understood it, Myway only saves favorites or pois that you do yourself and then guides you to them, much as Ariadne does or am i incorrect there? I got the feeling they were both quite similar?

How does MyWay classic or lite compare to Ariadne?

Near the bottom of the screen it will tell you if the map server is responding or something similar to that affect. Around the center of the screen, maybe a tad bit lower, is the current street information. If you tap that, it will tell you the name of the street, the zip code, and the county if available. If you swipe around, you will find the start monitoring button. Tap that and Voice Over will automatically announce when you change directions and also the street numbers where you are in. It will also announce when the street changes. It is a very nice app for sure. >>>> >>>> I hope this helps. >>>> >>>> >>>> -- >>>> Raul A.
