I have an old one here called Ariadne GPS which allows you to set Poi's and

I’ll try the near by explorer. I had the app but never played with it. I have

useful when hiking.

Hello list,
please does anyone know any GPS app which would announce the street

Blind square should do this too, just not as well as ariadne in this area.
The upcoming Breadcrumb app from LookTel is suppose to do this also.
