Not really concerned with data recording since there are already plenty of apps that do that well.
It jumps consumption a bit, from 5% or so to 8-10%, but I haven't isolated that to be pure navigation, or also because I am constantly turning my screen on to verify, check out the map etc. Right now there are no off course warnings, which means you end up checking yourself fairly often in an unfamiliar area. We'll add in off course warnings in the very near future, which should help. Also, we'll be adding in different beeps for left and right, since that was the other big annoyance - having to look at the screen when sometimes doing 20+ mph!
Lots of work, never enough time, but we are continually improving the app, expect an update every week or so with bug fixes, small improvements etc. We are always interested in suggestions and feedback to help the process along
