Hi: My opinion is that one has to jump through a lot of hoops to make Navigon work. Sure, if someone wants to simply enter an address, that part would be obvious. But, having to go to speed profile, or route profile, tell it if you're riding a boat or motorcycle, bike or walking, figure out where it thinks you are and so forth all seem like a lot of steps..
In my humbled opinion, a good gps app would have you enter an address you're leaving from, an address you wish to get to, and your mode of travel, and then provide appropriate direction. So, I guess I find Navigon not as simplified as your post implies and think newcomers should be aware of that side as well. So, scratch away, guess I just like things simple.:) Carolyn H On 3, 2011, at 5:29 PM, Geoff Waaler wrote: > Greetings, > > Perhaps those who believe Navigon's interface to be overly abstruse might > consider posting which tasks they would like to perform and what steps they > tried rather than a general statement lacking specifics that might scare off > people who might otherwise find this app very useful. > > Many of us who have Navigon are scratching our heads since it does not take a > technical wizard to ascertain, for example that from the main screen one can > locate an address by selecting "enter an address", or select: "search for a > POI" to start a business search.
