Yes it is. The closest we get is Nearby explorer online, and i don’t think it has turn-by-turn instructions and it might not even be available for iOs. In my not so humble opinion, Sweden is like a third world country when it comes to good navigation software and apps for busses and the like. Tra

Even when one sets a specific point (BlindSquare has the same feature), it will not be accurate. GPS is only accurate to within 9 feet under optimum conditions, and I have seen the accuracy as low as 1.5 miles under very stormy conditions. That said, GPS will get one into the area, and usually w

Hi Jonathan, The problem you are describing is one that all of the GPS programs have, because the point that they are looking at is not the door, but some other arbitrary point that has been said by the folks to make a Maps. If you have a program such as nearby explorer, you can set your own poi

How do you attempt to find POI’s around your area using apple maps? I’ve found that option using the roter, but can’t figure out what to do after that, and sometimes stuff just pops up if I’ve resumed a route I’m on that I closed out of, where it shows me surounding streets, locations are ound

Mark, That's why I love Nearby Explorer. I turn off points of interest when I'm in a car, but I turn them back on when I walk. I'll have to try that tomorrow with Maps. I've been wary of that app since the initial problem with wrong data in the mapping. Ben On 1/6/2017 21:32, M. Taylor w
