But before the app can guide you back to your destination, or for that matter anywhere else, you actually have to draw a map yourself of the way you want to go, as far as i understand the loadstone concept, and i could be totally wrong here, but i want to have maps drawn for me and then follow them, i don't want to go fumbling around in foreign teritories and then try drawing up some kind of map especially not if you have to provide lat and long coordinates yourself. As i said earlier call me lazy but and this is why i don't like opensource at all, i want a program that's ready and that works, i don't want to make the program myself, because i am an idiot when it comes to programming in any shape or form. I just want the thing to work. I'll gladly leave programming, map drawing and other such stuff to the experts, the knowledgeable ones. /Krister
