How to navigate

When we tap the green squiggly line we get a compass bearing to follow a straight line. The dropdown list to change from straight mode of navigation to something else is greyed out.

You have to be connected to the internet to get anything but straight lines

Thanks so much for helpful response. I have infact read the manual and it is telling me to press buttons that are not on my screen.

You are not alone Jannine

I understand your frustration with this !

Yes, certainly not a simple exercise. We had to reset the app to get the right buttons. Even so, it seems we have to add a way point for every place we want to visit. Seems a bit over the top for all the places we may only want to visit once. I was hoping that for the money we paid I might be able to use it for every day use but I guess it is not practical for this

There must be an installation or setup issue on your device. While connected to the internet I go to search/places/address lookup, type in an address in this case in Sydney, hit the green line, am presented with route options, select a route and go to begin navigation and the turn by turn navigation from my current position in Canberra commences. If you want off line turn by turn navigation I think you need to create a trek. I don't use the app for turn by turn navigation but as a mapping and route/trip planning tool. For turn by turn, particularly in a large city I prefer Google maps as it is aware of traffic conditions and will route around congestion.

Hi Jannine

Could you just expand on what you are trying to do?

Without wanting to sound rude, you say you have to add a waypoint for places you wish to visit, the App doesn’t know this, you need to tell it.

Also you wish to use it for day to day use, what type of day to day use???

Apologies if I’m missing the point.
