I just purchased this app and highly recommend it. I used it on the bus today
and it announced street crossings perfectly. I look forward to taking a walk
with this app as I think it will be a great benefit in announcing streets prior
to my reaching them. I do have a question about setting markers. Could you
explain as to how to do this. I think I may have found it once from the main
screen, but had difficulty in subsequent attempts to locate it. If it's on a
certain part of the screen, I'd be happy to try and locate it without
continually flicking around. Thanks for a really useful app.
