Great product. Would be great if there was a hiking mode, but that might be out of scope :) Just thinking it would be cool to combine X-Ray w/ landmarks and vista points on the trail

Urban Engines is pretty awesome. I've been using it for a couple of months now. Is it able to automatically detect if i'm in a car, rail, walking, on a bike? Using geo information and maybe the gyro, accelerometer?
Dan Zheng
@digiru we don't auto detect yet. It's an interesting idea. Currently, you can set your travel preferences (car, bike, transit) easily in the app. For me, I have car + transit turned on. Within transit, i only enable BART, Caltrain, and muni lightrail, no cablecar, AC transit bus or VTA bus.
