Hi Michael:

Just a quick note to let you know that version 1.1 went live last week. It has a number of improvements, including the mapping of the Paris landmarks.

Thanks!

LOL, I just now spotted the left-side icon in the Google Maps marker that shows street-level pics… and I’m making this discovery after having my iPhone for nearly 18 months :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Whoa, never occurred to me that those map markers can have more than one icon! Sorry I didn’t catch that, but at least now you know that dummies like me can miss stuff like that :P

Hi Michael:

Thanks for the great post on mPassport Paris.

I did want to clarify one thing you stated, and it shows that we might need to make this feature a bit more obvious to users. Whenever the app displays a map, the user can click on the pushpin to see the doctor, dentist, hospital or pharmacy name. That “flag” has two icons — the one on the right links back to the detailed profile of the item, and the other on the left, denoted by a little walking figure, takes the user to Google Maps where walking or driving directions can be found.

Thanks especially for the feedback on the recents and saved sections; those changes will definitely go in the next update.
