Melissa Nazal to Everyone: google maps also has live view in some areas. it can even vibrate to indicate turns.

Melissa Nazal to Everyone: we used it in Japan last summer and it was so helpful

Melissa Nazal to Everyone: Could you put on the bus website (or upload bus schedules) and tell what time you want to arrive and see if it can do it in one step?

Melissa Nazal to Everyone: I think Google maps does a lot of that in the app, so what is the advantage of using AI in this scenario?

sarah Land to Everyone: how did you get it to give the pictures of the route

Rikilynn Layher to Everyone: Will we have access to the recorded session? IÕd love to go through all this again at a slower pace.

Belinda Fayard to Everyone: Yes, you will be able to access a recording and practice at your pace.

Belinda Fayard to Everyone: I believe Shannah used the "preview" option to see the route pictures

Brian Werts to Everyone: How does the platform do when planning a route for a preset time like a doctors appointment at 10, and planning the route ahead of that time? or doing the "arrive by" feature instead of "Leave by".

Brian Werts to Everyone: Have you seen do you have to break each route down by the mode you want to use or if you provide the prompt of give me options will it give you accurate feedback?

Rikilynn Layher to Everyone: ItÕs amazing that it even tells you how much of the walking route is shaded!

Melissa Nazal to Everyone: On Google maps there is a transit button

Brian Werts to Everyone: Besides the student learning how to use this tool, have you seen ways that the AI is learning student preferences? Recognizing common places, routes, or what information is found helpful?

Brian Werts to Everyone: Thank you.

LISA ZELL to Everyone: Great suggestion about getting permission. Thank you.
