Hi, Don’t worry, i get the same results from the combination Blindsquare and Google maps. All Google maps tells me, even if i have set it to give me pedestrian instructions is something along the lines of ”drive west” or ”drive north” and when i arrive it sometimes tells me i’ve arrived. Someone said Apple maps is as easy as pie but i’m probably too stupid to figure that out too. /Krister
