Hi,
I don't think Blind Square will ever have turn by turn built in.
The way they do it is to pass turn by turn off to another GPS
application such as google maps or navigon.
This approach saves the developer the trouble of reinventing the wheel
as the apps that do turn by turn do it well.

I think it's an excellent product. And I will bet you that in time, they
will have turn by turn directions. That's really the only major thing
that is lacking. And it's not as if it off or an alternative to
accommodate that. The developer is been committed to making this product
is good as it can be for us. That alone makes it worth the money in my
opinion. Hey buddy can come up with one version, but you continually
upgrading make the product outstanding is a whole Nother matter.

Hi
although it is very limited, i have tried the free verrsion. what
really bugs me is the fact that its TTS talks overtop of voiceover
constantly, so you are never hearing what voiceover is telling you and
if it's important, that could bee bad or dangerous. My friends have it
and as I said beffore, they loove it. How do you like it? Another
thing I do not like, is that it does not have its own navigation
system, you must use third party gps apps, and my favorite one so far,
Scout maps is not even supported.

Jessica, as the old saying goes, you get what you pay for. I cannot
imagine that you will ever find GPS product for lesson $15 it is any
good. It's just not going to happen.

When was it ever that low? The lowest I ever saw was $14.99, you
would never convince me to pay that either.

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 <http://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.
Best,
Eileen

Hi all
Wondered if you could help me with this one. I've just bought
Blind Square and put it on my IPhone, and was wondering if
anyone could give me some hints and tips on how to get started
please?? For example, do I need to get something like Google
maps to use with it? If so how do I get the two to work together??
Any help much appreciated, as I feel I'm plunging into the
unknown!!
Thanks.
Eleanor
