Hi, I have been following this thread and I am concern that individuals are relying too much on GPS apps or stand-a-lone GPS units. We must remember that GPS is only a tool and it doesn't replace our orientation and mobility skills. It's to give us information and the information is only as good as the databases that the GPS apps or separate units have access to. This past weekend I was up in San Francisco and all three GPS products were having issues in giving precise information. At one point, all of them stated to turn left where there was a "No Left Turn" sign (car route mode). I understand that the choices we make regarding which GPS apps one will use is a personal matter, and individual GPS apps should not be knocked. This can give a misconception to those who haven't purchased a GPS app for their phone. As one of the other posts stated, it will all change when the iPhone5 will be available regarding the purchasing of GPS apps. I just hope that Apple gets it right the first time. Now!! I will probably be cut down for this, but it is the Sendero GPS on my Apex that I eventually turn on to get more precise information and options that are not available on my GPS apps on the phone. At least I have lots of options to get the info that I need when I am out-and-about. However, these options do not replace my ability to travel with the white cane.
