Good maps vs Seeing Eye gps
the biggest difference I have found is that Seeing eye GPS gives far more information if knowing street crossings and names of various businesses are important to you. * When we finally give Yeshua/Jesus full control then we have taken that first step toward perfection! __ Family times theatre http://familytimes.wrighthere.net:9244/stream Ask your smart speaker to play Family times on TuneIn -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.

RE: recording a route with Seeing eye GPS
Robert, Thank you very much for these detailed directions! Terrie Terlau From: viphone@googlegroups.com On Behalf Of Robert Wright Sent: Tuesday, September 04, 2018 5:14 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: recording a route with Seeing eye GPS We have waypoint routes in Seeing Eye GPS, these are the same as the manual routes from Sendero GPS. Go to routes screen and select Waypoint route. To begin recording a new waypoint route, select the Record New Waypoint Route button. You will be prompted to enter the name of the first waypoint, the nearest address is automatically placed in the text field, but you can enter your own name. For example, if you are creating a route from your car to the end of a hiking trail, you could name the first waypoint “car” and your last waypoint “trail end.” When the waypoint route is saved, it will automatically be named “car to trail end.” Once the first waypoint is saved, you can travel your route while waypoints are automatically placed at regular intervals as you walk along your route (every 160 feet at pedestrian speeds and every half mile at vehicle speeds). You can also add your own waypoints manually by either shaking the phone or selecting the Add Waypoint button at the bottom of the screen. If you add Waypoints by shaking the phone the nearest address or intersection, if available, will be added to the name of that Waypoint. If you add Waypoints using the Add Waypoint button, you have the option to either accept the auto-populated text or enter your own text and select the Save button. This waypoint will be added sequentially to the list of waypoints in your route. When you exit your route by selecting the Back button, it is automatically closed and saved using the name of the 1st and last waypoint. Note: Make sure you are done adding waypoints to your route when you select the Back button because it is not yet possible to add to a waypoint route once you exit. To hear about your location without leaving your route, select the Location Announce button in the upper right-hand corner of the screen. To load an existing route again, select the Load Existing Waypoint Route button. A list of all your previously created waypoint routes will be presented, simply select the route you want to load. When your route loads, it will automatically place you at the nearest Waypoint and determine which way to load the route. So, if you are at the last Waypoint in your route, it will load the route in reverse order so Waypoint 1 is your destination. While in the route, you will hear automatic direction and distance announcements about your next Waypoint.

Seeing Eye GPS and Intersections
Hello All: Has anybody encountered problems with the Seeing Eye GPS app for iPhone not announcing intersections? I have checked all the relevant settings (i.e. I have the announce intersections setting set to "always," and intersections are included in look around). POIs are announced seemingly without error, and I have tried switching the POI sources (although I'm sure that the POI and intersection functions are independent). I should note that I have strolled down all the avenues of traditional tech support preliminaries: location services are enabled (globally and for the app), both the app and iOS are up to date, the phone has been rebooted, etc. I have emailed Sendero, but never having been obliged to contact them previously, I do not know how long they typically take to respond, so I thought that I would seek input from the list as well. Let me know if you have experienced this issue as well as how you were able to resolve it (if indeed the problem was resolved).

If you can find a 20% off deal on iTunes gift cards this is pretty attractive, you would get it for $159.99 US or $223.99 Canadian, just a bit more than what you would pay for 2 years of subscription. Here is the What's New info: Thanks to continued underwriting from Guide Dogs NSW ACT Australia and a federal grant from the National Institute of Disability, Independent Living and Rehabilitation Research, we have major feature improvements in the Sendero version 3.0 iPhone GPS apps, including Waypoint Routes, new POI user interface and Uber compatibility! Warning: Before you install the update, share your user points of interest with your email; otherwise, they will be deleted from the app. You can then click on the attachment of the email on your phone to import them into the new version. What's New in Version 3.0 1. Added Waypoint Routes Similar to Manual "Breadcrumb" routes that are in our other Sendero GPS products. All you have to do to create a Waypoint route is walk the route and the app will save points along the way. Waypoint routes are helpful when there are no street maps, as in a park or campus. 2. Redesigned the Points of Interest user interface to make searching for POIs more streamlined. You can now use the Nearby POI Shortcut Gesture (double tap, hold and release on the POIs Menu button) or go to the POI Search Screen to search for a specific POI or a POI category. Unless you select a category, the search will be in All categories. 3.

I don't travel into new areas much any more, so I am quite content to use Google Maps or MapQuest for turn-by-Turn directions. I also like Blind Square, set to streets only. I have not spent much time with the new Lazarillo app that is free that does some of what Blind Square does. Nearby Explorer is also very good and includes speaking the names of the streets you are crossing for a one time charge of $79. Plus, Nearby Explorer stores the maps right on your iPhone so it does not need an internet connection to work, while all the others I've mentioned do require an internet connection because the maps are on a server. That means though, that you need to have at least 3 GB of space for the maps on your device. There are more factors of course, but each person has different needs and preferences, so in my opinion, no one can say which app is the best for another person. I hope all this is useful.

I think also it will take a few more years, but I also think that this is coming and that it will first happen at airports where often even sighted people get confused especially at airports with multiple terminals which are often far apart. Many asian airports such as Seoul, Hong Kong, Tokyo and so on require you to take a train from one terminal to another and they might be as much as a mile or so apart.

If you can find a 20% off deal on iTunes gift cards this is pretty attractive, you would get it for $159.99 US or $223.99 Canadian, just a bit more than what you would pay for 2 years of subscription. Here is the What's New info: Thanks to continued underwriting from Guide Dogs NSW ACT Australia and a federal grant from the National Institute of Disability, Independent Living and Rehabilitation Research, we have major feature improvements in the Sendero version 3.0 iPhone GPS apps, including Waypoint Routes, new POI user interface and Uber compatibility! Warning: Before you install the update, share your user points of interest with your email; otherwise, they will be deleted from the app. You can then click on the attachment of the email on your phone to import them into the new version. What's New in Version 3.0 1. Added Waypoint Routes Similar to Manual "Breadcrumb" routes that are in our other Sendero GPS products. All you have to do to create a Waypoint route is walk the route and the app will save points along the way. Waypoint routes are helpful when there are no street maps, as in a park or campus. 2. Redesigned the Points of Interest user interface to make searching for POIs more streamlined. You can now use the Nearby POI Shortcut Gesture (double tap, hold and release on the POIs Menu button) or go to the POI Search Screen to search for a specific POI or a POI category. Unless you select a category, the search will be in All categories. 3. If a POI search finds no results, in addition to expanding or cancelling the search, you can now select switch POI source Your default POI Source will not change if you switch POI Sources for a POI search. You can set your default POI Source in General Settings. 4. Added indoor navigation support, Beacons button on the POI screen, as part of our current federal grant from the National Institute of Disability, Independent Living and Rehabilitation Research. Beacon coverage is limited to a few locations in the US, UK, Germany and Turkey. We will be working to expand this coverage over the course of the grant, so stay tuned! 5. Added Uber to Route type options The app will send your location and destination to Uber so that you can schedule an Uber ride. 6. Added an additional setting for the Shake sensitivity You can now choose Hard, Medium or Off. Countries and regions available as of 2017: USA, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, Canada, UK, France, Ireland, New Zealand, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Germany, Lithuania, Spain, Switzerland, Turkey and Israel.

RE: Seeing Eye GPS version 3.0 with new features
Hi Richard, I don’t think Anna was joking, but of course you are correct in saying that this is not something that is currently possible with GPS technology alone especially if you are indoors where the signal is less precise or may even be non-existant as, for example, it would be the case in an underground mall or most likely the first floor of a multi-level mall. I think also it will take a few more years, but I also think that this is coming and that it will first happen at airports where often even sighted people get confused especially at airports with multiple terminals which are often far apart. Many asian airports such as Seoul, Hong Kong, Tokyo and so on require you to take a train from one terminal to another and they might be as much as a mile or so apart.

RE: Seeing Eye GPS version 3.0 with new features
Well, as I said, the technology is here, just not widely available. Do a google search for iBeacons, if you add BlindSquare to the search you can find lots of stories about how they are being used. Apparently, the London Underground subway system is installing them, the San Francisco Airport, a mall I think in Toronto, Canada, and more. You might also search for Seeing Eye and iBeacons, but that is so new, I’m not sure what you will find. Once you have more information about them, you might want to talk to your local mall manager to see if they would look into installing them as an ADA provision.

Re: Seeing Eye GPS version 3.0 with new features
I should have said that the one time purchase is actually called Seeing Eye GPS XT, and is $199, but yes that is a lifetime, one time payment. If you were planning to use it for four years, it is a better buy. But whether it is good enough or is guaranteed to be around, I cannot say. I find that GPS is very much a personal preference item. I don't travel into new areas much any more, so I am quite content to use Google Maps or MapQuest for turn-by-Turn directions. I also like Blind Square, set to streets only. I have not spent much time with the new Lazarillo app that is free that does some of what Blind Square does. Nearby Explorer is also very good and includes speaking the names of the streets you are crossing for a one time charge of $79. Plus, Nearby Explorer stores the maps right on your iPhone so it does not need an internet connection to work, while all the others I've mentioned do require an internet connection because the maps are on a server. That means though, that you need to have at least 3 GB of space for the maps on your device. There are more factors of course, but each person has different needs and preferences, so in my opinion, no one can say which app is the best for another person. I hope all this is useful.

What I think she is saying is; if you purchase the version where you own it, no subscription, it only costs $199.00. Not the original $299.00. I think I’m correct with this.

RE: How to Explore Distant Locations Virtually with Seeing Eye GPS?
Thanks for the reply, Chris. Well, so much for making Seeing Eye GPS my go to GPS app because I consider its inability to explore distant locations virtually and save them at my convenience to be a real shortcoming.

The Seeing Eye GPS automatically saves the last 20 or 25 routes that you have created in the history. There is no way to actually choose which routes are saved.

How to Explore Distant Locations Virtually with Seeing Eye GPS?
Hello List, I appreciate the help I got here on how to explore a distant location virtually using APH's Nearby Explorer app. I'm trying to do the same thing with the Seeing Eye GPS app which I'm trying for a month and I can't figure out how to do it.

Re: Results of Testing Nearby Explorer in a Vehicle, as Compared to Seeing Eye GPS
But the true implication of this depends on where you are. Here in los Angeles, the environment is pretty much built over, so the street map does not change. I have a working Trekker Maestro, and the maps have not been updated in years, but are still accurate. What changes, of course, are the POIs.

Either way, you must first use GPS to get your latitude and longitude (I believe this is the big drain on power), and then with this info, you lookup your street address/location in your map data by either querying via the internet, or checking your onboard map database. It does use additional power to make an internet query for your map data, and there will be situations where you are out of range of your cell connection, so there are benefits to having the map data onboard; but to balance the argument, the internet query maps are usually updated constantly, while the onboard maps take so long to download that they are updated rather seldom (I don't know how APH is handling this), so are more likely to be out of date.

I wanted to offer one correction however: GPS apps in no way have to take into consideration their distance from the satellites. The underlying GPS hardware obviously does, but it simply reports the lat and lon to the app, which then does what it does, but has no interaction with distance from any satellites (I have written a GPS app). It is also offered an opinion from the GPS hardware as to the likelyhood of the reported position being in error, and an estimate of how large the error might be, but no distance is involved except that the app can then take the estimated error probability, and report it to the user as an error distance (but this is something known to be rather inaccurate). All GPS apps designed to be used while in motion need to take into consideration the current speed and direction of the motion, along with their own estimation of how long it will take them to calculate and report a map position (as a car moving at speed can cover quite a distance since the last reported position from the GPS hardware), and it sounds very much like Nearby GPS is not doing this. Given that use of GPS hardware can drain the battery significantly, most apps also don't constantly query the hardware as to the current position, so more than ever the app needs to compensate for time passed since the last report (along with direction and speed). I recall this was also a reported problem for Seeing Eye GPS many years ago (long before it was available on smart phones), and so it looks like it's a problem they've conquored, and so likely will be one APH can conquor.

RE: Results of Testing Nearby Explorer in a Vehicle, as Compared to Seeing Eye GPS
Thank you Mark for your analysis and testing results. I wanted to offer one correction however: GPS apps in no way have to take into consideration their distance from the satellites. The underlying GPS hardware obviously does, but it simply reports the lat and lon to the app, which then does what it does, but has no interaction with distance from any satellites (I have written a GPS app). It is also offered an opinion from the GPS hardware as to the likelyhood of the reported position being in error, and an estimate of how large the error might be, but no distance is involved except that the app can then take the estimated error probability, and report it to the user as an error distance (but this is something known to be rather inaccurate). All GPS apps designed to be used while in motion need to take into consideration the current speed and direction of the motion, along with their own estimation of how long it will take them to calculate and report a map position (as a car moving at speed can cover quite a distance since the last reported position from the GPS hardware), and it sounds very much like Nearby GPS is not doing this. Given that use of GPS hardware can drain the battery significantly, most apps also don't constantly query the hardware as to the current position, so more than ever the app needs to compensate for time passed since the last report (along with direction and speed). I recall this was also a reported problem for Seeing Eye GPS many years ago (long before it was available on smart phones), and so it looks like it's a problem they've conquored, and so likely will be one APH can conquor.

Hi Mark. Those are some very interesting observations and so completely different from what I heard on Mike's demo. I'd be really interested in knowing why the difference is so huge. I haven't purchased the app but if I had and experienced such terrible accuracy, I'd be asking for a refund. Hopefully, your notes will help them in finding the issues shown in your situation.

Is anyone else having problems renewing a one-month subscription to Seeing Eye GPS?
I had to call Apple in order to get you for other attempts I made reversed, but a sensually what's happening is that I tap the renew for one month button, or whatever it's called, and go through the process of purchasing it, and then nothing happens. I still get the message that the subscription has expired at the top of the screen. Spooning if that message are the two renewal options, then a piece of text that says "in progress." I've tried closing the app from the app switcher, restarting the phone, and even deleting and reinstalling the app, and none of those things have made a difference. I'm afraid to try the purchase again, for fear it won't work, and I'll just end up with another $10 charge. I don't know what else to do at this point.

Wayne, Thank you for your wonderful suggestion. Unfortunately, my left ear is so much weaker than my right that splitting the work between two won't work well for me. I am almost tempted to obtain Those new JAW BONES type earphones which works on the bone conduction of the sound. I wish I had a store nearby where I could see those to see if splitting things that way might work. My left ear took a concussive blow in my accident and I have very little in my high frequencies, making speech going into that left ear a kind of garble. Again, I do appreciate the suggestion very much. Dianne B. Phelps -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.

Hi Larry, As Ed said, we all have different needs and expectations, from what you describe Blindsquare does a better job in these open areas, but for “normal” navigation along streets and in situations where you may want turn-by-turn directions the SeeingEye app does a very good job. Can you get good results with Blindsquare and another app like Apple Maps or Google Maps? Yes, probably, but that is where choice is a nice thing.

RE: head to head blindsquare and sendero seeing eye gps
Hi Brian, The Seeing Eye app works just fine in Canada, maps are accessed via data, at this point there is no way to download maps. I also like the app quite a lot, but of course I also don’t have too use it all that much, mostly just when I am in Vancouver. One thing I like about Apple Maps is that I can use SIRI to tell the app that I want a route to a certain address or point of interest and most of the time that works very well. The one thing where the Seeing Eye app still has all other apps beat is with intersection detail. I just like it that the app tells me that I am at an intersection even if it is a T intersection with the cross street coming out across from where I might be walking. Without the information that it is a 3-way intersection I might wonder where on earth that cross street is.

Re: head to head blindsquare and sendero seeing eye gps
Seeing eye does not store maps off line. Blindsquare is much more automatic, seeing eye will announce the streets when you get to them, but blindsquare provides more information automatically and I think it's better than seeing eye at this point.

I just wanted to say that I concur with Ed in that I am a huge fan of Seeing Eye GPS. While I am so grateful to the developer of Blind Square, for such a marvelously comprehensive app, I find that, for day-to-day navigation on busses and in taxis, etc, I use Seeing Eye more often.

Re: head to head blindsquare and sendero seeing eye gps
And, for the person who wondered about wether any GPS tells you the side of the street, Seeing Eye GPS does. For example, in Portland Oregon, where I am, we have lots of streets that eithemake t intersections or jog a ways from where they cross the intersecting street. So Seeing Eye might say, 33rd pl on the left, and then a little while later, 33rd pl on the right, etc. Richard Sent from my iPod 6 > On Apr 6, 2016, at 8:02 AM, Ed Worrell <blindworr...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hey Guys, > > I am on the opposite side of the coin.

Re: head to head blindsquare and sendero seeing eye gps
Hello, I found that the 4Sq option for POIs is much more accurate in finding things near you. The Google maps option isn’t always the closest option. Before you do a search. In the search screen there is an option to switch the POI source if you select the 4Sq option it seems to pull in closer options.

well, perhaps I should try seeing eye gps. not sure if it even has maps for Canada but easy enough to find out. does it store maps off line? would prefer not as I have a rather large data bucket but it might be handy. With blind square, the announcement stuff is pretty automatic. I mostly use it when going somewhere new to keep me clued in on where I am. Typically, for route planning, I use google maps to get turn by turn or work out transit things in cities where I have never been. I have navigon but last time I tried, I couldn't work out how to get maps properly. Brian.

Re: head to head blindsquare and sendero seeing eye gps
Hey Guys, I am on the opposite side of the coin. I find the Seeing Eye GPS app much more intuitive for my use. I really love the improvements to the app with the newest update. The tabs down at the bottom of the app screen are now all on one level, and for low vision users they have added some new text and interface color options. Just a note I am not low vision but my business partner loves the improvements to the low vision aspect of the app now. I have found the look around features of The Seeing Eye app to more than adequate. But once again different strokes for different folks. Just thought I would throw my two sense into the conversation.

False alarm Re: Do not install seeing eye GPS 2.11
I heard back from Sendero very quickly. Apparently, I just had a bad download, which I should have thought of, but deleting the app and reinstalling it fixed the issue. So if you have it, install it. If you don't and want to try it out, apparently there is now a 30 day free trial. Here is what it says in the what's new; note no mention of the free trial. Integrated iOS 9 optimization, now the app loads in half the time. · Updated the Google Map SDK. · Added indoor beacons to the POI sources for indoor orientation through Boni’s LoudSteps SDK. · Added Magic tap gesture to repeat the last spoken route instruction when a route is loaded. · Added a Repeat button to the route loaded, location and visual map screen when a route is loaded. · Route instructions are numbered. · Current route instruction is highlighted in the route details. · Completely redesigned the visual user interface for low vision users, adding various text and background color themes. · Replaced the menu buttons with menu tabs. · Increased text font size. · Removed the flashing yellow text for app announcements. · Increased size of Next Turn symbol on route navigation screen. · Added the ability to select orientation announcement preferences between clock-face & right/left, clock-face, or right/left. .

Do not install seeing eye GPS 2.11
If you have Seeing Eye GPS, do not install the 2.11 update that just showed up in the app store. I tried it on my work iPhone 6, and it kicks me out of the app after about 30 seconds or less. They are trying to do a 30 day free trial. As I recall, KNFB Reader tried that and it also failed miserably. I have written SenderoGroup.

Re: Google Maps+Blindsquare or Seeing Eye GPS?
I have no problems in using BlindSquare with Google Maps, though dealing with two different voices giving you information is interesting at times. I prefer Google Maps over other map apps. BlindSquare is a lot cheaper than Seeing Eye and according to a coworker who also has it, BlindSquare puts out updates more frequently than the other as well. I can't vouch for this since I only have used BlindSquare.

Sendero Lookaround GPS hasn't been working for me lately, and I've heard good things about Blindsquare. I use Google Maps, but sometimes find it difficult to follow its walking directions. Knowing when I've gotten to a specific cross street is kind of important, and since Sendero Lookaround isn't cutting it anymore, I need something that'll do the job.

Re: Google Maps+Blindsquare or Seeing Eye GPS?
The Seeing Eye app gives detailed information about intersections, includes turn-by-turn directions and can also optionally pull POIs from Google Places instead of just four Square. Otherwise, Google (or Apple) maps plus BlindSquare is a fantastic combination. You won’t get detailed intersection information with BlindSquare. But you get an arguably smoother UI; the ability to plan a route with the navigation application of your choice (and thus live traffic rerouting, which Seeing Eye's turn-by-turn navigation does not support), less battery drain than the Seeing Eye App, the ability to simulate your destination and explore the new area, plus plenty of other features.

Re: Google Maps+Blindsquare or Seeing Eye GPS?
and it depends of where you are living or wisiting. Apple Maps + Blind Square sendt me contrary direction. About 500 meters. Both apps was absolutely sure i was at destination. It may be best to test both Seeing Eye and Blind Square. I am havning issues with the personal POI’s at some places in Blind Square lately. Its strange. I suspect something, but kno nothing. Take care 11. feb. 2016 kl. 20:04 skrev Brice Smith: The Seeing Eye app gives detailed information about intersections, includes turn-by-turn directions and can also optionally pull POIs from Google Places instead of just four Square. Otherwise, Google (or Apple) maps plus BlindSquare is a fantastic combination. You won’t get detailed intersection information with BlindSquare. But you get an arguably smoother UI; the ability to plan a route with the navigation application of your choice (and thus live traffic rerouting, which Seeing Eye's turn-by-turn navigation does not support), less battery drain than the Seeing Eye App, the ability to simulate your destination and explore the new area, plus plenty of other features.

Re: Seeing eye GPS
Hi. I haven't had any isskes with crashes, but I've noticed that it takes a while to get up and running. I've also noticed some really screwy results with the app. The other day I was using it on my way home from work and I had it calculate a vehicle route, which worked fine. But the ETA information was wildly inaccurate. It gave me an ETA of five hours, thirty-five minutes, when Google Maps gave me a more realistic forty or forty-five minutes. I don't knoj why that is but I'll definitely have to write to Sendero about that.

Fw: [gps-talkusers] New User POI recording coming soon to the Seeing Eye GPS and others
I thought I'd give you all a heads up that we are making good progress on user POI recording on all 4 versions of the Seeing Eye GPS for the iPhone. We have also expanded the destination history list from 2 items to 25 items. The User POI interface will be similar to other Sendero products where you record the name, the Category and a tag like Door Main or Driveway. You will be able to share your user POI file with others via Email or AirDrop. You can also use Email to back up your points. I will certainly have something to show folks at the conventions and I would hope it would be released soon thereafter. I will be helping at the Uber Technology booth July 4-5 in Dallas, July 6 and 7 in Orlando and July 8 and 9 in Montreal at the International Mobility Conference. Hope to see you there.

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. 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?

Hello Ann, If you look at the settings, you should find a button to open another screen where you select what happens when you shake your iPhone. Shake to read pedometer is what you want.

Re: Blind Square vs. Seeing Eye GPS
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.
