Hi Jonathan, Will version 3 be a free upgrade to those who already have BlindSquare?

That translates to Sundays at 2 Pm Eastern, 7 pM in the UK.

If you've wanted a copy of BlindSquare GPS but perhaps haven't had the budget for it, I hope I might be able to bring a smile to your face this weekend. This week on my Internet radio show, The Mosen Explosion, I'll be giving away three copies of the soon-to-be-released version 3 of the popular BlindSquare app for iOS. BlindSquare is on my list of apps I wouldn't want to be without. It's a popular accessible GPS-app developed for the blind and visually impaired. It describes the environment, announces points of interest and street intersections as you travel. In conjunction with free, third-party navigation apps it is a powerful solution providing most of the information blind and visually impaired people need to travel independently. BlindSquare is self-voicing, announcing points of interest, intersections and user-defined points through a dedicated speech synthesiser. The most important BlindSquare functions can be accessed through an audio menu via any headset or speaker that supports Apple’s music controller. This means you don’t need to touch the screen of your phone looking for tiny buttons when you travel with BlindSquare, because many functions can be activated using the physical buttons of your headset or bluetooth speaker. If you are blind or visually impaired, BlindSquare is your safe, reliable, and accessible GPS-solution. BlindSquare is available for iPhone and iPad in the App Store, and soon, it'll be updated to version 3. Here are just a few of the new features in the soon-to-be-released version. Navigating in-doors in large buildings is a challenge yet to be solved by technology. BlindSquare now supports BlindSquare BPS (Beacon Positioning System), an indoor navigation system based on iBeacons. It is currently available at a few places only, but will hopefully become available at more venues soon. If you use a stereo headset with BlindSquare, you will now hear the alert sound played from the direction of the point of interest that is being announced. BlindSquare now supports the TransitTimes+ public transport app. If you use BlindSquare on an iPhone 6 or 6plus, you can check changes in elevation. Based on your device’s barometer, the GPS-Info screen shows your elevation compared to when you started BlindSquare. There is also a button letting you reset your elevation to the current reading. The app now uses less memory, and knows about even more places. This is a cool app, and if you don't have it yet, I have three copies to give away on this week's Mosen Explosion. Tune in, and there'll be some fun, innovative, but easy ways to join the fun and have a chance of winning. The show is on Monday mornings between 6 AM and 10 AM. You can listen via the website, http://MosenExplosion.com<http://mosenexplosion.com/>, or you can search for the Mosen Channel in almost every popular app, such as TuneIn Radio, Ootunes, iTunes, Apple TV, iBlink Radio and the Victor Reader Stream. Good luck to those who enter. It's a great app. Jonathan Mosen Mosen Consulting Blindness technology eBooks, tutorials and training http://Mosen.org<http://mosen.org/> Jonathan Mosen Mosen Consulting Blindness technology eBooks, tutorials and training http://Mosen.org<http://mosen.org/> -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.
