I didn't, I just got the distance in feet, not just a proportional bit of a mile, .... no, it was metres, cos it used the term MT, which means MegaTon, and this is what VO said when it read it. This, no the lack of address or direction is why I down-rated it.

Sent: Thursday, February 14, 2013 9:25 AM To: ios Cc: viphone Subject: iMove, another gps app for the vi! For those who didn't see the announcement, the subject sums it up well enough. I took it for a walk, it did more or less what it said, which wasn't any more than we have with Siri or existing other apps. I know, I said that. But to be fair, the Around me part worked pretty well, it found more results than I was used to, once out and about. But that's it, told me it was there, didn't see an address, just a distance. The app developer could do with developing it some more. Since that part of the app has map reference coordinates, it could then give a direction as well as a distance so you had an idea of how to get to it. AroundMe app gives address as a matter of course and links to further details when you click it; clicking a target in iMove only seems to re-iterate the original distance. a small detail, but it uses MT for metres, not good as siri or the VO voice converts that to MegaTons. so I got within 200MegaTons of a local church. Not bad hah?! I only heard the most basic 8 point of the compass, I don't think this is really accurate enough to do a lot of navigation by, at the least a clock face works more intuatively when using a phone this way. But that's just me. Ariadne does that and it is good. These two features in the same app would be well worth a second look. Ok, I like the ability to put voice prompts in places, though as far as I can tell, the app only tells you if you get close or pass one, not where it is or how to get to it.
