True. Wayfinder would also be nice but it does not have the same sort
of LookAround capabilities as Geo. For one thing, Wayfinder uses
degrees to tell you the orientation of intersections and points of
interest. This can be very confusing on top of distance information.
Without touching any keys at all, Geo gives you one point of interest
at a time and one intersection at a time. Wayfinder either has to be
queried for one of these types of information or it piles up a bunch
of things all at once.
When it comes to routes, Wayfinder doesn't automatically tell you if
you are headed in the right or the wrong direction. You have to check
the itinerary or guide view. It doesn't happen automatically as it
does with Geo.
If you have a Symbian phone, Wayfinder is your only option and it is
ok. It is far short of any of the Sendero GPS products however.

What I loved about my Geo ride this morning is that I got information
in a simple automatic fashion, much like my wife did.
Actually, for this, way finder access would also be a great choice,
especially with the new feature of automatically announcing street
crossings, or points of interest, actually in this case, points of
interest would probably be a better choice. Or you could use the
around you view which does both.
