Balance simplicity with functionality

ISSUE #2: MULTIPLE DESTINATIONS

SCENARIO: ALEX

INITIAL SOLUTION: DESTINATIONS QUEUE

RESPONSE FROM USERS “When would I need to have multiple destinations programmed in my GPS?” “What happens to the queue when I turn the car off?” “Couldn’t I just send over my next destination after I’ve arrived at my first?”

REVISED DESIGN: NO ADDRESS QUEUE Appears WHENEVER you send over an address from your phone

Don’t design for edge cases
