Use a proper street map? That what we do in London. Find out destination on a street map, then decide which tube station to use. Then the tube map is only used to make routing decisions within the network, not broader navigation around the city.

It just feels like this project was designed in a clean room, and nobody spent much time in the shoes of the people using this.
