I had found most of the things you mentioned. I have the feeling that the pedestrian speed profile needs to be set every time one chooses a route either by entering an address or picking from the favorites list.
I still don't have any experience beyond walking up and down my own street and the miserable attempt to get to the Y this morning. I know I've more to learn but I also think the software has some very annoying bugs (the occasional disappearance of the "back" and "main menu" buttons). It is helpful but if they can do 3D maps, they can certainly make a text list of streets and turns.

Hello Chris and all: I will take a shot at answering your questions.If you are asking are you able to see the turn by turn listing of the streets upon which you will travel to get to your destination like you see on the maps program, I believe the answer to that question is no. Most, though not all GPS systems run on the principle that you do not look at the map while traveling as much as someone who would look at a map and not necessarily use a GPS system. I am not saying the logic is agreeable or disagreeable ... that is just the thought behind it. So, for example, if I am traveling and the device tells me to make a left, I look at the lower corner of the screen (lower right hand corner to be precise) and know that is the street upon which to turn. Trusting yourself to the device it would seem (grin).After you enter your complete address, there will be a done button which I am presuming you have found already (smile). double tapping on the done button presents you with the option to begin navigation. double tapping upon that will activate the navigation function of the app and will show your current location ... again ... located in the lower right hand corner. You should also see to the left of that the options button. If you double tap that button it will bring you into the list of options where you can make modifications to the settings such as whether or not you want to move by car, motorcycle, etc. pedestrian is under that list ... the speed profile list.I hope that addresses some of what you were asking. If not, write again and both ask and chastise (smile).Be well.

I've not gotten to the documentation as I fell asleep before trying it out so these questions may be an RTFM but, for now, if anyone has a little experience with the tool:Can one get a list of the streets on the route like the list mode in the iPhone maps program? If so, how does one get to the screen where this is done? Once I build the destination address, I cannot seem to get back to a place where I might be able to set map options. A lot of the pages have a back button but I cannot seem to find it once I've entered the destination completely.It does seem quite cool and its accuracy using the iPhone Location Services really rock.Happy Hacking, cdhClick on the link below to go to our homepage. http://www.icanworkthisthing.comManage your subscription by using the web interface on the link below.//www.freelists.org/list/macvoiceover Users can subscribe to this list by sending email to macvoiceover-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxxwith 'subscribe' in the Subject field OR by logging into the Webinterface at //www.freelists.org/list/macvoiceoverTake good care and I wish you enough.
