Re: [apple-iphone] Re: I need some advise.

So the app needs to be location aware to the extent that it knows how
to route you around attractions at Disney or other large venue? I
don't think there is one. I just zoom out till I see myself and my
dropped pin and make my way towards it. I don't actually use the
routing feature. Just head towards the pin since the iPhone has a
compass and can tell which direction you're facing.
