Just installed 1.47 in the bu - THANK YOU David for saving my settings.

Some initial thoughts:
  • I might suggest though that there's a better way to phrase the dialog box that asks "Do you want to use the new default buttons". There's no indication that answering "yes" to this will wipe all the custom buttons. As I sit here now typing this I guess it makes sense, but in the car, it took me a minute to realize that answering the question in the negative was what I wanted.

  • I love the new NAV layout... Hadn't seen that through the betas.

  • The way "Favorites" is in NAV has always seemed weird to me. And now with the new "Where To?" button I have a way to describe it. I think Favorites should be just another entry on the screen that lets you pick how to enter an address. I think the need is especially shown when using "Where To?" - that takes me to the new address stuff, which makes sense but it's limited. It also shows the need when setting a "Home Location" in Settings. I have "Home" as a favorite, so why put the user through the address entry dialog again?

  • A suggestion for XM and for Radio (yeup, I'll post it over on the XM thread as well). I know the dialogs are getting crowded, but it'd be awesome to have a button that saves the current artist/track/time/date to a file for latter recall. MANY times I hear a track that I like, and I have no way to write the name down short of trying to write on my palm while driving.

Rest assured I'll have more later, but... THANKS DAVID!
