That is restricted by Apple.
Restricted to 100 per developer account.
Yep, and they have been full for a long time. I believe how often the list testing devices can be changed is also restricted. That's what we've been told.

This change is neither simple nor something which can be fixed with just an app update.

This is really interesting and troubling. I tested the betas repeatedly on an iPhone4 with 5.1.1 with no issues nearly as serious as these.

That is country-specific, but generally, thumbs up is acceptable worldwide. Iran is one place it is NOT acceptable. I would rather it had remained as it was a much smaller button.

That is currently working as designed and has been publicized before. Primary route will not have a toll road if you have "avoid toll roads" turned on, but alternate routes may have toll roads. It is planned to give more granular maybe trinary control such as "never use (never include in any routes", "avoid (can be included in alt routes)" and "use."

Can you provide a permalink to the route that shows "Toll"?
The routes list shows toll, but I do not believe this was added to the map view of alternate routes. I don't have tolls in my area, so I can't easily check.

on the record, reinstalling / running in safe mode doesn't resolve the crash on launch
I tested the betas on iPhone4 w/ jb 5.1.1 with no issues. Maybe something got changed between the last beta and release which is causing the issues. I am also running 3.5 on iPhone5/iOS6 now with no crashing issues either, which seems to be in the minority.

I can't duplicate this but I'm curious to see if the word "(Toll)" is in the segment naming for the section of road in question.
I think that's besides the point that the map view of alternate routes should show which of the routes includes a Toll road. A lot of toll roads do not have (Toll) in the name in the US, per the decision made in the tolls thread, and so that graphical view of the routes should, somewhere, show the word Toll just like the list view does.

I never paid attention to the actual usage of data, but my hope was (I never asked) that it is on by default. It appears that was a bad hope/assumption.
