It actually does not allow you to walk and use it at the same time. It is meant for stopping, getting your bearings, and then putting your phone down and continuing on your way.
It definitely would be useful in unfamiliar, dense urban environments where maybe the streets are a bit too close together to easily distinguish on an overview map.
- the_seraphim 7y agoI've had this exact situation, I was looking for a place in London and i was close... real close. I ended up giving a homeless guy £5 and asking him to walk me to where i needed to be (i still missed my coach home and had to book the last one) it was less than 100 yards from where i was. This would have given me an instant bearing on the area and a direction to walk in. I since have been back and it took me two goes to find my route (walking round a massive building to find the part i needed)
