Yes, I suspect you’re right. I did switch back to Good Maps Explorer just to try to compare the two, and at least superficially, it brings some of the same features to the table that you got in Sound Scape and you now get in Voice Vista. -- Christopher (AKA CJ) =>÷ Chaltain at Outlook, USA

Hi Sieghard, My provider charges 15 dollars a month for their modem. That adds up to 180 US dollars a year. I bought my NetGear Modem/router in 2015 for 140 dollars, but saved myself at least 1200 dollars in the last eight years. I will look into buying a modem and a router, but will not let

Exactly, so my question is whether you can use VoiceVista for turn by turn directions, and if so, how would you do it since the route tab doesn’t seem to be the way to go. Maybe you need to use voiceVista in conjunction with something like Apple Maps. -- Christopher (AKA CJ) =>÷ Chaltain at

I don't think it does that. It looks to me like you have to have dropped a bunch of waypoints along a route and then you can create a route out of those waypoints. It says on the route screen:Create a route for yourself or for someone else by organizing a set of markers as waypoints on a route.
