Although I have a couple of GPS apps on my iPhone 5s, they are only backups
to my Trekker which I still think is the best. Every now and then I'll walk
out the door with out a GPS and having a GPS app on my 5s is great for those
just in case times I actually need it.

Subject: RE: Best GPS App?
I've read through most of the responses you have received.
I'll go ahead and chime in though.
First, it depends on what kind of information you most want.
If you just want turn-by-turn directions, my personal favorite is Google
Maps, especially with the latest update. You can do voice searches for
destinations by name or address.
It does a very good job and is completely voiceOver accessible and it is
free.
If you want to hear the cross streets as you are traveling and other
information, then BlindSquare for $29.99 is very good.
If you want excellent intersection information, including the angle of the
cross streets, information about streets you are crossing, and a completely
accessible turn-by-turn app, then spend the money for Seeing Eye GPS XT for
$299.99 for a one time purchase, or Seeing Eye GPS subscription for $69.99
for one year or $129.99 for 3 years.
If you come to an intersection that is not at a straight 90 degree turn, it
will say something like SE 12th Street, 8 o'clock and 2 o'clock.
Plus, one thing I like very much is that when it announces the cross street
(if you have it set to simple intersections) it just says the name of the
cross street and doesn't waste time speaking the street you are on.
Mapquest is another free app that works quite well and is completely
VoiceOver accessible.
Motion X GPS is also quite popular at a low cost, which I don't recall right
now.
Navigon is also very good plus it stores the maps on your iPhone so you
don't have to have an internet connection to use it.
All the other ones store the maps in the cloud. Navigon is available in
several packages; North America which includes Canada and the off-shore
territories, Just the United States, or in regions like Western United
States, Eastern United States and Central United States. Plus it is
available for many other countries.
But, there is no one Best GPS app as it really depends on personal
preference and need.
HTH,
Richard

Subject: Best GPS App?
Hi Everyone:
I am considering purchasing a gps app for my Iphone.
I was looking in the app store last night and came across the Seeing
Eye GPS app from Sendero.
Since it is specifically for the visually impaired/blind, is this a good
one?
What apps do you all use for GPS?
I saw where you could make a one-time purchase for the Seeing Eye
gps...is it worth it?
Thanks,
Kerri
