This is not an app that can guide you to an address you have not previously visited. If you can have someone guide you once, you can use this app and set up points along the way. I think this app is a thousand times more usable than any other pedestrian navigation system out there.
You can set up points at street intersections, crossings, bus stops and so on and so forth. I can't wait to go and walk in Central Park with my dog without worrying about the direction I take, landmarks or how many steps… Emrah Ps: as the community grows, we can expect to have people set up downloadable points. E.g.: Subway stations in NYC.
