Thank you for all these features. Receiving them a little at a
time is great and more easily to digest rather than a whole lot
of info at once.
Really great and much appreciated.
Sylvia.

The feature I am going to discuss today is POIs in LookAround
mode.
1. The heading and distance has been dropped from the LookAround
POI
when it triggers. You will see the name of the POI then either
it's
category/sub category then the side of the street the POI is
located
on. For example Burger King, Restaurant, right side.
2. You can press P to get the name, category, subcategory,
heading/distance, baring, and side of the street if known. For
example, Burger King, Restaurant, 300 feet ahead, right side.
3. You will only see the side of the street if the following
conditions are met: the POI is located on the street you are
traveling
down and if you have a heading. If you change direction, once
your
heading is updated the side of the street for the POI will
change.
Lets use the Burger King example above. When I travel north down
the
street Burger King is on my right. I turn around, once my
heading
updates to south, Burger King will now be on my left side.
4. The side of the street information is also located in the POI
details, Press SPACE with P or READ with P and scroll down the
POI
details or press the letter G to jump quickly to the side of
street
detail.
