Really like the xray view for direction and to find the bus stops. How do you make the overlay tracks the orientation well? Do you use both compass and accelerometer? I can see myself using this a lot during baseball season.

we use all the sensors on the device, including compass and accelerometer. This is only possible because we built our own end-to-end mapstack for mobile.
