Wouldn't you want to see a map with place names and streets when walking in an unfamiliar area? I would never wear earbuds while walking around a new place, listening for instructions where to walk. That seems like a step backwards in navigation common sense.
Much better to get a visual idea of the area, so you know where you are, distances to expect, and layout of the land... kind of like a normal map!
I get that looking at a map is not practical when cycling, but I think most cyclists know exactly where they and following familiar routes.
I suspect you don't know this, but: the Watch provides tactile "nudges" about turns one way or the other. For more complete directions -- and, obviously, a map -- you still have your phone, which is orchestrating the navigational prompts on your wrist.
It's useful, when navigating, to be free of the need to stare at one's phone or a map the whole time. That's the boon here.
But, again, I note you're the guy who seems really invested in hating the watch -- even to the point of dismissing as invalid reasons another poster enjoys it! -- so it's not clear why I'm replying.
I've had this problem numerous times at LAX: driver will call then cancel when i tell them i'm not going downtown ($50) and instead to the west side ($15). I waited on the curb for an hour while 7 drivers canceled on me one after another.
Uber will often give you a credit when you report this but they don't seem to be actually fixing the problem.
What are you talking about? No it didn't. It came with an adapter that has a female 3.5mm headphone jack on one and and a male Lightning adapter on the other end to allow you to connect headphones with a 3.5mm connector to your Lightning-only iPhone 7. To connect to a 2016 MBP, you would need the opposite—a cable which does not currently exist.
No no, cust0m is right, I didn't think it through. It comes with a 3.5mm female to lightning male adaptor, not a lightning female to 3.5mm male adaptor.
As someone how has to lug their MacBook from office to home everyday, i'm really looking forward to upgrading. As for the ports, a good 5k screen will work as a dock for the assortment of USB devices, headphones etc that I currently have to connect one by one each morning.
I work on an iOS app called AGOGO that takes a different approach than most podcasting apps. Instead of subscribing to shows you browse channels podcasts, tv clips or text to speech audio. Would be interested to hear what you guys think www.agogo.com
