Blindsquare functions with the screen locked and I can’t seem to get that to happen in seeing eye.

I find the Seeing Eye GPS app much more intuitive for my use. I really love the improvements to the app with the newest update. The tabs down at the bottom of the app screen are now all on one level, and for low vision users they have added some new text and interface color options. Just a note I am not low vision but my business partner loves the improvements to the low vision aspect of the app now. I have found the look around features of The Seeing Eye app to more than adequate. But once again different strokes for different folks. Just thought I would throw my two sense into the conversation.

I periodicaly shake my phone to check my location to get updates. Hope that helps.Regards, Feliciano For tech tips and updates, LIKE wwww.. <http://facebook.com/theblindman12v> facebook.com/theblindman12v Follow <http://www.twitter.com/theblindman12v> www.twitter.com/theblindman12v On Apr 6, 2016, at 3:03 AM, <mailto:englishride...@gmail.com> englishride...@gmail.com wrote: I tried Seeing Eye GPS a while back, and while I really did like the turn-by-turn directions, and especially the intersection analisous, I think BlindSquare may be a better fit for me. I mostly need something that will tell me my nearest intersection, like Sendero Lookaround used to do before it broke. So, my question is, I know BlindSquare can do what I want, but does it do it automatically, or can I do something to make it happen? I'd rather have the feature be a manual control, like in Sendero Lookaround.

I did like it because it was so similar with the turn by turns. Price wise, I switched to BSQ and have been enjoying it ever since. I use it with Navagon and it has been a treat. I was told that I can virtually walk through an area to see what is around there. As soon as I figure out how to do it I'm going to practice practice practice. This was a feature I used frequently on my Sendero GPS.

If the turn by turn directions of seeing eye gps can be had on blindsquare, it'd be great. I use blindsquare simotaniously with google maps and i get theinformation i need.

I just made a comparison between sendero and blindsquare and blindsquare came out head and shoulders ahead for my needs. I brought up sendero and got a breadcrumb to my dumpster entered and then routed to it. I invoked the route and began walking with the screen locked and got not a peep out of the app during the entire route. I unlocked the screen and got a little info but not much. I felt much more supported using blindsquare. I will gladly trade the lack of intersection analysis in blindsquare for its much more supportive stance with the user. If blindsquare could include intersection analysis, I would consider it a truly great app. -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
