Re: App that reports the nearest intersection

[Wayne Merritt]

thanks to those that have replied to my original query. I am looking
into Ariadne GPS and it looks like a good option. Now I just need to
get it to work the way that I want. Though it does not report the
nearest intersection, it can alert you when you approach and reach a
favorite point. I have set the bus stop that I get off at as a
favorite. I haven't been able to ride the bus since early last week so
I haven't tested this alert but I will get a chance to today. I will
also check out the native Maps app to see if that reports the nearest
intersection.

Re: App that reports the nearest intersection

The maps app on your phone will do the trick. Go to the tracking button, then 
tap it until it says tracking on with heading.

RE: App that reports the nearest intersection

[Richard Turner]

Yes, Apple Maps will do that while you are moving.
Blind Square has an option under Tools that will list nearby intersections and 
tell you the approximate distance and direction.  I have it set to clock face, 
so for example:
51ST and SE Powell 205 feet at 7 o'clock.  That is with my phone pointing north.
If I turn the phone and wait a few seconds, it will update the direction 
without my moving.
It continues to list intersections on the screen so you can just slide your 
finger down and find quite a few intersections around you in the comfort of 
your own home.

RE: App that reports the nearest intersection

[SSEric]

Wayne, I have not used it a lot and not for a year or so, but I am pretty
sure that Transit Times does give the intersections. I do have the paid
version, which I doubt I paid a lot for. That is Transit Times Plus.

Thanks Christina. The thing is, BlindSquare costs $30 and aside from
that one bit of information, I would not use it for any actual
traveling. Since I don't often go out and travel on my own, paying $30
for one feature in an app does not seem very worth it to me. If I need
driving direction for my wife to use in the car, then I will most
often use Google Maps.

Re: App that reports the nearest intersection

[Christina C.]

Wayne, I hope someone here can point you in the direction of a more simple  and 
economical solution. I too would love an app to do this that is more economical 
than blind square. I have been considering purchasing it for a long time but it 
is a lot more than a couple of bucks. :) However, I do suggest that you check 
out the podcast on applevis. I think it’s the latest podcast of blind square. 
The podcast actually shows the app in action on a bus. Listen to the podcast 
and then maybe you can put an iTunes gift card on your wish list for your next 
holiday or birthday. :)

RE: App that reports the nearest intersection

[Rose Combs]

I have not been out alone in months, however, before my husband passed I used 
Blind Square, had it when we were walking or on tandem bike, it is cool, you 
hear lots of stuff as you travel, found some places I'd never heard of before 
only blocks away from home.  Will probably use it soon again.
