Wow that sounds perfect for what I need. If you are on commission for sales of this app then you just earned some money from me. Lol

For example, I recently added the washington monument to my favorites this way, from my home in South Carolina. It told me 400 and something miles at 2 o'clock. Then as I was on the train, the distance shrank, and it was at 12 o'clock . When I got to Washington DC, I could navigate to it, keeping it at 12 as much as I could. A few months ago, I tried my way lite, and couldn't get it to work that well. When I got to a point, it told me the distance to the next point, but not the direction. I use ariadne for this kind of orientation. It also helped me out of a spot. I got on a city bus, but after getting on, the driver changed the route number and I started going to a different part of town than I was expecting to go. Using Ariadne, I knew where my house was, distance and clockface. So when I got as close as I could (1 mile) I got off and used it to get me home. If I had stayed on the bus to the transit station, then took the right bus, it would have taken me over an hour. I am anticipating the Breadcrumb app from LookTel. There is no timetable as to when it will be out, but if they continue to put out such awesome products, it will be the best app for this type of off-road, or point to point travel.

This sounds interesting, how does the app tell you which direction to go. So lets say you add a favourite using coordinates and tell it to navigate there does it tell you how far and somehow tell you which way to head?

I have added points as favorites with ariadne and then navigated to those points. Look in favorites and there should be fields for adding latitude and longitude. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Paul Weston Sent: Monday, July 08, 2013 4:45 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: Taking Navigon offroad? Hi Tom, Thanks for the info, very interesting. I had a quick look at Ariadne but it appears that you have to actually go to a place to add it as a waypoint where as I would like to be able to enter a location using latitude and longitude and then have it give me the straight line distance and direction to get there. Thanks for your reply though. Paul From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Tom Frank Sent: 08 July 2013 02:16 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Taking Navigon offroad? I haven't found any way to take Navigon off road. As a matter of fact, I cannot even set up a route in advance since my home is 550 feet from the main road and Navigon will only give me the first instruction. Have you tried Ariadne GPS??It's a fantastic program that I use often. I use it to mark points of interest around the lake where I vacation so I can figure out where i am when kayaking. It will give you straight line distances.

For example does it provide you of the straightline direction and distance of a waypoint even when no roads or paths exist? My second question is also about navigon... I am assuming that you can enter your destination as a latitude and longtitude as opposed to a postal code or street name? For context, I am looking for ways to improve my enjoyment of geocaching. Many thanks for any help you can provide. Paul -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group.
