The photos below are from an iPhone. In one, you will see the blue dot, for current location.

No kidding?...Wow!!! As a person who is admittedly Directionally Challenged, this will be a godsend. Does it talk? I can't walk and chew my gum at the same time....so I use voice commands on my car GPS frequently.

Thank you for taking the time to do this.
