This beta seems a lot easier on the resources of the phone. I like the speedometer and while not moving it goes away. Like it a lot more. I noticed that this version shows traffic jams and reports better. Is that server end changes or something with the beta version.

Keep ya'll updated. Thanks.

Quick impression:
Seems to be a lot faster?
'Promopt me to edit road info' :)
Glad you removed the bulldozer from the mainscreen.
I like the always visible speedometer.
Chomped you :)
You changed something about the road labels - a big improvement, but still needs some tweaking - city names and major highway/freeway names still have the same font, I would like to see a seperation here (maybe a small border around city names?).

I don't like the new scoreboard, and there's a small bug in it:
When I hit the 'All'/'Weekly' link, it displays another user (for the other 3 combinations it's okay).

That doesn't seem to work, whatever I do, my review does not show up in the Chomp app or the overview page: http://chomp.com/a/cE9

Also, how is the streetname dialog supposed to work? I can see it appearing while driving around, but it disappears immediately. Is this a bug? Should it only appear when on a street when doing 0mph and the street has no name?

Okay, I think I figured it out, here are my comments:
- Auto prompt is kind of useless, it only flashes for about a quarter of a second and then it disappears. It becomes annoying.
- One feature I was especially surprised to see, was the ability to edit housenumbers (at least, I think that's where the '#' on both sides are for). However, I am not able to input anything in these boxes (I can't get the app to focus/place a cursor in these boxes).
- Also, the streetname button looks like it is grayed out the entire time.

Foursquare seems to be working okay with this version on places it reported a parser error before.

Also, I encountered 3 crashes with the latest version: 1 phone reboot and 2 unexpected shutdowns. Of course, logs are sent, happy debugging :twisted: .

I believe the plan is to submit 1.7 with beta bug fixes to the app store in late April.
That would be 1.8

Could be, city limits are already there...
