GPS technology depends on a lot of things. How many GPS signals your phone is picking up to triangulate your position can effect it and I’ve heard that even cloud cover can effect it . Suppose the orientation of your phone and weather you have it in a pocket or not can effect it too, but I just opened the app as I’m sitting inside at my table and it told me that the cemetery and bus stop is 112m to my south which is correct. And it does get updated quite regularly so it c could just be a bug that will get fixed at some point. You can also open the category filter so you can change what it tells you if you don’t want to know about entertainment places and shops and so on. It’s not to bad for a free app..

I took it for a trial run this morning and it worked pretty well.I particularly like it voicing the compass direction in which I am walking. One aspect which puzzles me is that it usually tells me that a named side road is x meters in front of me even when the road in question is just a side road and not a cross road. Occasionally it very helpfully tells me that the side road is to my left or my right. I cannot figure out why it only does this on rare occasions. Any thoughts on this?
