A lot of people seem kind of excited that iOS 5 now gives alternate Routes on Google maps in iPhone. It’s great to have alternate routes drawn out, but I really wish they would allow me to rename routes 1-2-3 to A-B-C because in my area, as you can see in the screen capture from my trusty “old” iPhone 4, an actual “Route 1” exists (which is actually THE Route 1, spanning every city and town on the east coast from Maine to Miami). Alternate route “1” and Route “1” are all over the map!
There are also a very heavily traveled “Route 2” and a “Route 3” nearby, so these route alternative flags may become confusing in some situations. This Route X factor must exist in many areas, so a simple toggle or some easy method of setting the preference for route option display from Apple / Google would be helpful.
Oh, and why is there no “Maps” in settings on iPhone? Everything else has settings. Maybe this would be a good place (route) to start, Apple!
I always hassle my dad about the “old” news he sends me. Although the story is already “old” (in web years), I was shocked that a link he sent me had never been tweeted (according to isitiold)

ben replied to your photo: Maps app tells me how slowly I’m moving now!
how?
It’s only for jailbroken iPhones, but it seems it would be a simple thing to code given there are apps that show you running routes and times, right?
The “tweak” can be found on Cydia. The developer named it Speed for Maps. The link has some features and more info.

With a jailbroken iPhone, you can pretty easily browse, edit or delete any and every single file on the device. That can be quite dangerous, of course. Do a lot of research before you try anything. One wrong move could ruin your iPhone.
When I first checked the files, a video I was just storing in my iPhone for no good reason was just over half a GB. I archived that and deleted a bunch of other pointless pictures and video, giving myself well over a GB of free space.
Running the app again, I found another huge file, but I was unfamiliar with the file extension. After a little research, it appears the .ithmb file is an image thumbnail database format. I’m assuming iOS just keeps these even after you delete images because there were six of them taking up more than 2GB on my iPhone. Since most of the images and videos have been moved into my archive folder off the device, it made sense that these could be deleted… so now I have over 12GB free and don’t need to delete the next biggest file I found - this mix.](http://www.tumblr.com/photo/1280/shawnblog/3101708174/1/tumblr_lg30bpfJ0K1qz4aom)

Foodspotting… the iPhone app?
I installed it and have yet to open it, just like about half my iPhone apps.
I guess I need to get on it, eh?
