At first I thought this was Chrome Lite issue via 3G however I found that after loading the page, giving it Gears permission, then left the page and revisited it the location detection worked correctly. - When asking for directions, as it could not find my location it defaulted (Bourke St Mall). I was unable to change this starting location and clicking on the starting point only selected the tile. Perhaps a better behaviour might be to prompt the user to input their location manually instead. - Refresh Me and Clear Me was broken into two parts. Maybe just 'Refresh' and 'Clear' might be clearer for the user - Under Setting you have written 'Now Openig' instead of 'Now Opening'.

Google Chrome is another choice but can't perform "route" function. (a bug of Google Gears in Chrome.) :) Hi, you may test it on Apple “Safari 4″ browser because it uses lots of HTML5 feature. e.g. client database, offline cache, geolocation service.

I just wish I had a phone to test it with, trying it with Firefox was no joy for me.
