thanks very much, Richard. With your advice, I went into BlindSquare with every confidence it would work. Much to my chagrin, the well-established addresses I entered reveal a search that cannot find those addresses. I know these are existing addresses, but for some reason the search engine

You do not need to go into settings, first. Just use the search button in the top left. Then, once you have your destination found, double tap on it and then flick to simulate location. Also, BTW, the search radius is for when you use a category like my places, food, etc. Richard "Reality

I have not used this feature for some time so this may not be true, but to the best of my memory, you need to go into the simulation first and then enter the area you wish to simulate. In setting you have set a search criteria around you for searching so it is not the same as you would use in

Hi, GPS accuracy is less of a factor on this than is your orientation of the phone. Blind Square is not designed to be in your pocket. The top of the phone needs to be pointed in the direction you are walking for best results. Your current location is GPS, and your point of interest is GPS,

On the perfect conditions day, GPS can be as accurate as 15 feet. Typically, GPS is about as accurate as 30 to 60 feet. I have seen GPS be as inaccurate as three miles on a nicely completely overcast day. There is nothing any app can do when the GPS accuracy drops because of factors outside the
