Yes, that's my plan. Actually, recording functionality is already implemented and has been in use for beta testers for several months. I use it to fine tune how street crossings are reported: Beta testers can record a route and email it to me. I then open route on top of the map where I can see exactly how it worked out (it shows route, all spoken texts, locations of crossings, locations of spoken texts, all sensor information etc.). I really need to thank all beta testers for recording routes (hundreds of miles) for me.
What we need next is functionality that speaks you through a route. I'm going to use that both for recorded routes but also for turn-by-turn navigation. I have some other work going on before this but this is on a "short list" of next development tasks. Best place would be front pocket of jacket. It's important to place it screen facing your chest. BS will use compass instead of GPS if you are indoors or if you are not moved. It notices your device orientation but it expects the device to be that way.
