I don't know what you mean here. Do you mean the 'Recalculating...'
thing? I miss the Garmin lady not saying that since the last update.
She frequently wants me to make u-turns for at least a mile before she
gives up, but she never admits it :-)
Look at the .gpx files -- they're just text files. One of the apps
(maybe more) can snap to roads. The accuracy depends on the phone/gps
chip as well as the accuracy of the satellite signal. The BLU I had
would occasionally place points miles away from my actual location,
which was kind of funny when I waned to look at where I'd skied.

If he had any brains, he'd take them out and play with them.
