Hi guys 
I love this program, and it has saved me more than once for not passing up my 
bus stop. Lately, the Dallas Area Rapid Transit has not had working GPS 
announcements on all the buses, and the old-fashioned way of asking the driver 
didn't work, especially when he asked me to tell him where the thing was. Even 
if I didn't use other features, it has been well worth having on my iPhone so 
that I can avoid walking 8 or 10 blocks when it's close to 100 degrees out. My 
dog sure appreciates that, too! 

The only thing I can think of right now that I wish we could quickly do when 
planning a route through Apple maps or Navigon through Blind Square is to 
quickly tell Blind Square to close. Recently, I was in a taxi, and I had called 
up the place on Blind Square and was going to use Navigon for turn-by-turn. I 
forgot to go to settings and tell Blind Square to drop out after it sent 
co-ordinates to Navigon. the iPhone started talking too much and driving the 
other people in the car crazy, so I had to go to the App Switcher and close 
both programs. Then I got a lecture from the gal sitting next to me about how 
the old-fashioned ways worked better and that I should have used them. She is a 
good friend, but if anybody needs a working copy of Blind Square, it's this 
gal. But first, she needs a working iPhone. 

Regards, 
Gigi
