I installed this app on my 8 Plus last week but have yet to launch it.
I will do so this week and post my observations, on-list.
The app sounds intriguing. I will probably use my Apple EarPods, the first

Of course, I am eager to learn of others' findings, as well.
In my opinion nearby explorer is better, it provides the information

direction, the new direction is automatically spoken and the upcoming
street is also spoken right away. This allows you to know right away if
