## What is FingerNavi?

This application displays a finger cursor pointing in the direction of the destination. This application is not a precise navigation system, but rather a general use directional guide.


Features:
1. You can easily recognize your route to the destination by the overlaid images. The direction to follow is indicated by the finger cursor.
2. You can view your route on a street map, a satellite view or hybrid of the two.
3. The map can be oriented with North at the top, or rotated to reflect your actual direction.
4. Distance units can be displayed in meters or miles.
5. Battery status is displayed in five increments(charging, full 3 / 4, 1 / 2, 1 / 4).
6. The screen displays three network conditions (WiFi, cellular networks, not connected)
7. Compass (red arrow indicates North).
8. If available, the geographic names of your current location and destination are displayed.


Notes:
1. Application requires an electronic compass and GPS enabled device.
2. You can select either the compass or GPS navigation guide. (GPS mode is activated after you start moving)
3. Frequent use of the compass and GPS sensors results in high battery usage. Prolonged use may result in accelerated battery drain.
4. The map is displayed using the standard iPhoneOS map API and requires a connection to a communications network or other network by Wifi to accurately display location information. Map information may transfer large amounts of data.
5. May not function properly near strong magnetic or electronic fields. May be resolved by changing your location slightly.
6. Please do not use this application while driving.
