The map text at the zoom levels used for driving is too small to see! I've checked the manual, tried pushing all the buttons, and searched the forums, and have not found the answer, so I ask here: does anyone know how to make the map text a readable size?
The text for Navigation (the turn-by-turn directions app) and Maps (the social networking app) looks fine when zoomed in to street level, but is also hard to read when zoomed out (such as driving at highway speeds). But the My Location app always shows the text in a tiny font at any zoom level. The text is so small that it is unreadable without either getting very close to the screen or staring at it for a long time. This basically renders the entire navigation suite unsafe for driving. Do Google's lawyers know about this?
The menu hard key (normally used to access the current app's settings) does nothing in My Location. Or, you can hold it to bring up the keyboard (except there's no input field so you're typing into the bit bucket). All you can do are exit, activate the traffic overlay (which is cool if you already memorized the local roads), change the zoom level, switch to the Navigation and Google Maps applications, or recenter the screen.
I'm used to a Garmin. Garmin's interface is cartoonish and while both Garmin and 'droid sometimes cause me to ask, "where is this thing taking me?" (both can equate one-lane roads with the interstate when path-finding), the Garmin never had me wondering, "where am I right now and how do I get back?" Until this is solved, I'm keeping the Garmin installed.
Thanks in advance.
