My problem is that the MetroView map (a third party sucker that I've been using for turn-by-turn directions cos the original Apple/Google maps didn't have that functionality) is currently released in an iteration for which the developers decided to experiment with LSD, Speed and other hard drugs whilst they designed, coded and 'improved' their app .. so it too is less than helpful for my purposes.
