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. Original message: well, perhaps I should try see

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, 3

Hello, It uses the Google maps. It might have the Canada maps as it does not store maps off line. It just gets it’s maps info from google or even the Open Street Maps Project. It all depends on which one you have selected in the settings. I hope that this helps. Ed > On Apr 6, 2016, at 12:36 P

I may just try the free 30 day trial option again, and see how I like it. One of the reasons I didn't like it, and this wasn't really the app's fault, was that it ran super, super slowly on my iPhone 4S. Google Maps and Lyft used to do this as well, but both of those apps are now running great o
