It's clear that this app was developed by a blind developer, I mean it in the most positive sense. It gives you what you need, when you need it. No unnecessary chattering or verbose strings like some other GPS apps. When one is out and about you can't still listen to unnecessary chattering while concentrating on your surroundings. Great job!
