first ill write this text in english and german because english maybe is not so easyy to understand (its not my motherlanguage)

1. in lanscape mode the sidebar with the informations could be smaller and be hidden by a swipe to the left handside(shown by a swipe to the right handside)
- im landschaftsmodus sollte die informationsleiste etwas dünner und mit einem wisch nach links ausblendbar sein (und mit einem wisch nach rechts wieder sichtbar gemacht werden)

2.the buttons (exit, settings, search) in 'normal' card-mode shold be adapted to the ui in 'drive' (they shold be be black too etc.)
- die schaltflächen (beenden, einstellungen, suchen) in der 'normalen' karten-anwendung sollte an das ui in 'fahren' angepasst sein(d.h. die schaltflächen sollten auch schwarz sein etc.)

3.more animations
-mehr animationen

4.a possibility to have a 'menue' (as it was in 3.06), so that you can go to drive, walk, check in, qwype etc. directly from the 'normal' maps-aplication
-eine möglichkeit ein menü zu haben (wie es in der 3.06 war), sodass man direkt von der 'normalen' karten-app auf fahren, gehen, check in, qwype etc. zugreifen kann

1. Good point. We will see if we can do something in the time we have.

2. The drive buttons are designed especially for use in a moving car. The maps app can save some space by using smaller buttons. They are two different applications and they don't have to look identical.

3. We would love to, but it's not so simple...

4. You can put any of the apps you use most directly on the homescreen in a shortcut widget. Also, we have done our best to connect the apps intelligently so that you get from one to another when you need to. If you are still finding this cumbersome, it would be a lotof help for us if you would describe exactly what you are trying to do that takes you from one app to another and where you can't find the access point without going back to the homescreen.

ok! Great! but if just one point to the menue: itll be better then if there wold be 'walk' on the homescreen, too.

but this doesnt mean that v3.08 is bad! its a very good navigation!

Thanks. A separate walk app would be cool, I agree. I'm not sure what we will have time to accomplish, but we'll keep it in mind.

An Estimated Time of Arrival would be good in Drive please!!!

It is already possible to see it, you have to tap on the distance or the time left and select it from the pop up menu.
