It uses the compass, so you always know how you are situated in relation to your next landmark. It will announce the distance and the direction to your landmark every 5 seconds and so as you walk. E.g.: Corner of 43rd Street and 5th Avenue, 50 meters at 12 o'clock. This is at least 3 times mor

Krister, there is no programming involved when it comes to creating points along the way to your destination. You ask someone to guide you once, and when you feel like you should set up a landmark somewhere, you just shake your phone and label the point. If the next landmark you set up is locate

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 t

But as i understand it, you have to put in your own points and stuff yourself, this is why i never used loadstone, because if you hadn't made points yourself or if there weren't readymade maps, made by users it was as good as useless. Call me lazy if you will, but i'd much rather prefer walking

It is not a turn by turn app, but can almost sound like one if you set up your points right. If the app tells you your destination is at 3 o'clock and you are at the corner of 2 streets, you logically make a right. If it says it's at 2 o'clock, you can still make a right, and most likely turn l
