Hi Joerg,

First thing is that the idea to include Route Settings like Nearby
Favorites is something we can revisit later in the next release since it
isn't applicable to current issue which is the menu navigation structure.
So @Marcos @Joerg, let's discuss that in another email later and not
dismiss it so quickly. I do believe it does have potential to be a really
good feature.

Coming back to our discussion about the 2 mockups we have now, personally I
believe that Marcos's mockup borrows the advantages that my mockup brought
forward and does it better. Let me explain my why reasoning why I think we
should go with Marcos's mockup for our menu navigation.

In my mockup, the most easily accessible options were undoubtedly the
search feature and the access to those route options like Nearby
Destination, Cancel Route. Favorites and Coordinates. Let's look at the
number of steps it takes to get to those features,

Nik's Mockup
------------------
Search -> Step 1: Press the search header and that's it. You can start
searching right away.
Nearby Destination -> Step 1: Press the menu action header. -> Step 2:
Press Nearby Destination
Cancel Route -> Step 1: Press the menu action header. -> Step 2: Press
Cancel Route

 Marcos's Mockup
------------------------
Search -> Step 1: Press the search header icon and that's it. You can start
searching right away
Nearby Destination -> Step 1: Press the search icon -> Step 2: Press the
Nearby Destination subheader and that's it.
Cancel Route -> Step 1: Press the cancel route header action and that's it.

So as you can see, Marcos's mockup involves the same amount of steps
(sometimes even lower) than my mockup when it comes to getting to those
features. Also I love the way he integrated the search feature so well in
one page. I feel it is a lot more logical.

The only thing I am not a big fan of in Marcos's mockup is the favorites
action header. I personally believe it doesn't deserve a spot in the main
header. But that's a tiny issue that we can afford to overlook.

> And i personally would go for as much popup as possible, csuse its realky
great while driving. Thats what i dont like for the page approach you
ptoposed.. It is difficult to use and not very

@Joerg, you mention that a popup is great and that it reduces the number of
steps. But as I described below, it doesn't reduce the steps. It is the
same :).

@Marcos & @Joerg, Here is what I suggest we do. I am going to implement
Marcos's Mockup. It should take me about 15-30 mins max ;).  Let's do real
world testing of both to get a better idea instead of just *thinking* what
might be better. How does that sound? to be honest I am personally
preferring marcos's mockup. But that's just me.

Cheers,
Nekhelesh
