Really like the xray view for direction and to find the bus stops. How do you make the overlay tracks the orientation well? Do you use both compass and accelerometer? I can see myself using this a lot during baseball season.


we use all the sensors on the device, including compass and accelerometer. This is only possible because we built our own end-to-end mapstack for mobile.


I just downloaded this app. It's great! I love this app.


Diggin it :)
