Re: GPS app suggestion
Hello Shen, Navigon Europe will work fine in Italy. It has the advantage of having the maps installed on the phone so you won't incur data charges.

Re: metal chipping on the IPhone, is this normal?
I can’t imagine metal chipping off a persons phone is necessarily normal. Especially since you have it in a case which limits some of the natural wear and tare put on the device. Only thing I can think is, there was some dirt or dust in the case that over time wore away at the metal band around your 4S.

Re: moving VM to another computer
Well, I took my own oft-given advice and researched the question on VMWare's Knowledge base. It looks fairly straight-forward. First put a copy of the VM bundle (.vmwarevm file) on an external drive, or on the desktop of the MBA, then in Fusion, select file/new/continue without disk/ use existing Virtual disk. Then navigate inside the .vmwarevm file, anselect the .vmdk file as the virtual disk to use. There are lots of subfiles with the .vmdk extension, but you want the master .vmdk.d For example, there will be "virtual Disk.vmdk", and a bunch of "virtual disk 00x.vmdk subfiles. you want the one without the 00x's. Once the .vmdk is selected as the virtual disk to use, continue and fusion will create a virtual machine from that virtual disk. As the KB articles say, the process is identical to taking a disk drive out of one physical machine and putting it in another as the boot drive.

Re: GPS app suggestion
Can I get a few tips on using Apple Maps with Siri, or just how to use it in general? I tried using it a couple times recently when I was looking for a particular landmark, and found the mapquest app to be anything but helpful, but when I put in the info that I could've spelled wrong, I got no results, and don't know how to check it very well when it comes to points of interest. I eventually managed to find what I was looking for as we were driving, but at that point, what was the point in that sense we were almost there? Also, is there a means to using it and running another task in the background, or will voiceover not read directions if I've switched tasks? It doesn't seem to on my end, but wasn't sure if there was a work-around for this, which I find extremely frustrating.

Re: metal chipping on the IPhone, is this normal?
Ok, interesting, how will that end up affecting my phone in the longrun? Wound I be better off at this point getting it replaced, and if so, would it be best for me to upgrade? A part of me would like to, but I can't afford to right now, so not sure what the difference would be costwise.

Re: free os x upgrade, was Re: Maverick date release question
Maybe I missed something here, probably did. When I got my MacBook Pro, I got it three days before Apple came out with lion. I was told at the time that you got it for free if your Mac was less than 30 days oh, so I upgraded from Snow Leopard to lion for free. I guess my question is are we not more than 30 days away from Mavericks coming out? Or, is there some kind of an exception for MacBook airs that I don't know about?

Re: GPS app suggestion
I just tested Siri out with some directions to make sure I was saying this right. Here is the way I did it, and I will give you an example. Generally, it uses your current location to start with if you are sitting somewhere or in the car. So, when I was sitting here in my house I said "Siri I need directions to 1100 Commerce St. "Siri immediately went to Maps and had the directions there and if I had been in a car they would've been spoken. It's my understanding that with iOS 7, there will be pedestrian mode also. I do have NAVIGON, and I like it a lot. I also have the Seeing Eye GPS on my iPhone as well. I haven't used it enough yet to decide what I think about that in vehicle mode, but I do like it in pedestrian mode. In fact, I like the Seeing Eye GPS in pedestrian mode better then Navigon because it tells you further out what you're going to do. I like that so I can make a decision to use a different street than the one the application is recommending.

Re: GPS app suggestion
Hello Gigi. I purchased the Seeing Eye GPS app, loaded the travis county map and set up an automatic route from my home to a POI. I turned tracking on and walked the route. The Seeing Eye GPS app was completely silent. How do I get it to start giving pedestrian guidance? Thanks so much.

Off Topic: Question to australiens
Hi Folkes, I'm planning to visit Australia next year for two or three months. I'm going to stay near Melbourne. I'm very excited about this and want to enjoy my stay as much as I can. One of the important conditions will be the wether. So I'm thinking of what season would be the nicest to be there. I know it can be very hot in summer. Probably to hot for me, I like 20 to 30 degree Celsius the best, 65 to 85 degree Fahrenheit. But what about February and March? Is it a nice season, means well temperatured and not to rainy? And what about my Guide Dog? Is it easy to bring him to Australia or do they want me to prove a lot of vaccination? Would be great to hear some recommendation. Thanks and all the best Jürgen -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: moving VM to another computer
I have never done it that way. What I do is copy my VMWare folder to a USB, then copy it to my new machine, and then hit command O to find and load it. The last time I did it, I just keep it on my external USB drive, and run my vertial machine from there. Works flawlessly!
