Sorry if what I described seem complicated.
In both cases, I will just have all of the default settings set. With the
Bus, I will just have my destination set to the intersection, where I will
be getting off and will keeps tab on vit every so often to see how far I am.
And, when I am walking, I will have a route so I could have turn-by-turn
directions.

Sounds like information overload.

What I would do in this case, where I will be riding the bus and then
walking to my destination is the following:
Bus: I will just have LookAround turned on announcing intersections when the
bus has stopped, the new streets and directionality, current city, current
state/province and POIs. This will allow me to build up a mental map of the
area and become familiar with the route and street names and cities that the
bus may pass through and locations of interest. I will also havve my
Destination set to the intersection where I will be getting off and will tap
the D key every so often to keep tabs on where I am wanting to get off.
Foot: I will still have LookAround turned on but will also create a
Pedestrian Route so I can havve information about my surrounding as well as
have turn-by-turn directions to my destination.
Thanks,
Kevin

when i get off the bus, or the vihicular one, but could I continue following
it when i got offthe bus?
