Palm Pre and Palm Pixi Information
Interested in Palm? Want to know more about webOS, the Pre or the Pixi? Not to worry because Gadgetell's got the latest news and information right here.
I don’t understand why the built in Maps App doesn’t automatically move to the next direction prompt when you are in range on it’s location. It’s hardly a difficult funcion to implement and would be much safer than trying to determine when a purple line moves off a blue road on motorways. There are some very strange ommisions in The iPhone OS (copy paste copy paste copy paste come on!)

Why it can list the route, actually tell you where you are in real-time, but not put the two together to update the route directions, is beyond me. When you become within say, 50 yards of a junction, update it. From there, it wouldn’t be very hard to add in a voice command at the same time.
The basic workings are there, but for some reason, they just haven’t put 2 and 2 together yet. Whether they allow this application into the App Store, and on what grounds they provide, it may show some light as to whether they have plans of their own to add these features into Maps.
