Re: Blind Square vs. Seeing Eye GPS
It is my understanding that the seeing eye GPS app does intersections. I think that blind square does not do this. That's why people use them simultaneously.

Re: Blind Square vs. Seeing Eye GPS
Both announce intersections. The main difference is that Seeing Eye has turn by turn included in the app, while BS has to use another app like Google or Apple maps.

Re: Blind Square vs. Seeing Eye GPS
I much prefer blind square. It provides more information without you having to touch your screen. The seeing ehe app will announce streets, but only when you arrive at them, where as blindsquare will announce approaching streets from a distance. Also, blindsquare will frequently announce your current address and how far you have traveled. It doesn't have turn by turn directions the way the seeing eye app does but you can use other apps for that. H, maybe I should do a pod cast comparing those 2 apps.

RE: Blind Square vs. Seeing Eye GPS
I find how Blindsquare announces stuff very unreliable. Sometimes I walk and it suddenly starts to constantly announce how far I travelled as in every few seconds and since I have a Seeing-Eye subscription for 3 years at this point I have taken Blindsquare off my device. I don't need GPS that often and prefer how the Seeing Eye app gives me information.

Blindsquare anounse something like this, you have walked 500 meters five minutes or something like that. However i'm not shure if there is an oportunity to manualy check how far you have walked. ok. there is an step accounter wich tell you how many step you have tooken, but as i understand you would like to know the distans .

Re: Blind Square vs. Seeing Eye GPS
Hi Sieghard, the random announcements about your distance were likely caused by your phone being awake and its accelerometer being triggered. You can turn this off so that BlindSquare doesn’t react when your phone is shaken. This would solve that particular problem.

Re: Blind Square vs. Seeing Eye GPS
BlindSquare has a number of features that SeeingEye GPS lacks, such as the ability to mark your own points of interest. I use this all the time to mark bus bays, the entrances to train stations, and so forth. It is a great indication to keep me on track as I’m getting on and off busses and walking around. In my experience, BlindSquare is significantly friendlier in terms of battery life and can therefore be used for far longer in between charges. BlindSquare also can be operated via an external accessory such as the Apple headset remote, which means you can get info and mark points of interest without needing to take your phone out of your pocket and unlock it. BlindSquare also supports displaying messages and receiving commands via a Braille display. In truth, SeeingEye GPS is a very basic app in comparison, and in my view has seen only minor updates since it launched. BlindSquare is quite feature rich, and is regularly updated with new features. However, SeeingEye GPS does have two features that BlindSquare lacks. Those are the ability to have intersections described in more detail, whereas BlindSquare just announces the street names; as well as integrated turn by turn directions. Both apps offer a feature whereby you can spin your phone around and hear intersections and places in a given direction. Of course, you should be certain to check which countries are supported by each app before purchase, as I do not remember this off hand but I recall it is quite limited.

I tried BlindSquare over a year ago, didn't care for it and got a refund. Now that I'm finding myself looking for more points of interest, I'm revisiting the possibility of purchasing one or the other. It seems BlindSquare talks to map apps for turn by turn directions, so what would the compelling reason be to take out a subscription with the GPS app? I do like that the Seeing Eye app can rely on Google Places. I trust that more than FourSquare, but that in of itself is not a deal breaker.

RE: Blind Square vs. Seeing Eye GPS
Hi Sieghard, Your problem with Blind Square is probably in the fact that you were shaking your phone. Either you had it around your neck and it your phone was bouncing around or you were making quick moves with the phone in your hands. I had a friend who had that problem and I turned off her shake phone commands and her problem is gone.

Sometimes I walk and it suddenly starts to constantly announce how far I travelled as in every few seconds and since I have a Seeing-Eye subscription for 3 years at this point I have taken Blindsquare off my device. I don't need GPS that often and prefer how the Seeing Eye app gives me information. I guess that goes to show how subjective this is, just like TTS voices and bluetooth headsets. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Ann Byrne Sent: Friday, June 19, 2015 6:53 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Blind Square vs. Seeing Eye GPS Is there a way to request Blind Square to announce how far you have traveled?
