3 Questions from a frustrated v3.03 user

Q1: Where can I find the 'explore' Funktion? Or how can I find parking places, fuel stations, cash maschines from map. I found such POI's in the route point menue during navigation, but it was not possible to identify the best coise to specific location. (e.g.: whats the best place to park the car when I want to visit a company in Munich)

Q2: How can I plan a route, add or remove route points. All I found was the possibility to open a previews stored route (via favorites) or to save a route when I have started navigation. I couldn't modify a safed route and I couldn't plan a route from a location diffrent to my current location.

Q3: How can I track my route and navigate at the same time. When I started to navigate 'track me' was stoped every time I tried it.

By the way in between I hate the new 'home/menu screen'! Why? I was several times frustrated when I looked for location on map, found the location and when I want to start a certain action I realized I am on the wrong screen for that action. I had to jump back to the Menu screen and enter the map from an other icon. And? Bingo, I could do the action but lost the loction I found before and have to start searching again. Thats frustrating!
You cant believe it? Then try to find the nearest petrol station next to the second last entry in your history folder. Good luck!!!

About your questions

Q1. when you search some POI in "find places", you have to write the category in english, name of the citty, name of the nation, for example "parkin, Munich, Germany". Be careful, the name of poi and the nation are mandatory in english language.
Q2. at the moment it is not possibile, it will be in the next release.
Q3. I think that the function "track me" is to show where I am on the map without nagivate.

I hope next release will

I hope next release will come soon. It isn't fun to use the current one.
