Hi Eleanor, This is the first chance I have had to open the app. I hope you have read the help info that is documented in the app. There are so many settings that you can select to make the experience of using Blind Square to your liking.
To answer yourquestion about using Google Maps, this needs to be install on the phone first. When you open Blind Square, you can search for a location or open your "My Places" to select a destination. Once this is done, at the bottom of the screen in portrait mode you will hear VO annouce "route" or something like that. Double tap on this and a new screen will open. This is where you can choose the navigation apps for GPS. The native map will be listed, as well as any GPS apps that you have installed. Just double tap on one of them and the GPS app will open. You then need to use the GPS app as if you had opened it on its own. There are lots to learn about the app. I know that at applevis.com there have been podcasts produce on how to use the app. I would do a search for "Blind Square" to pull them up. HTH.
