Hi Sieghard,
I don’t know if it does or does not do this, but I think that particular type of feature isn’t very useful for Voice Over users … I believe it’s only usable for those with some vision. What do you think?

Putting the comma between the city and the state and using the two-letter state abbreviation did the trick. I don't believe I've yet to use an app on my iPhone that was so demanding as to the search syntax. I really do appreciate all the help.

Have you successfully searched for a distant city from your physical location and gotten it in the results, I just searched for San Francisco California and got no hits. Is there some magical way to enter the city and state to get results? Thanks for your help.

In the edit box, type the city and state where you want to search. Once you find it in the search results, you'll find a "Search from here" option. Use that to search from your chosen city.

Unfortunately, for the life of me, I can't figure out how to change the state or the city to what I want so I can find locations and POIs within the 30 mile limitation. As you cycle among the Nearby Explorer items, you can either double tap and hold or do a single finger swipe down in order to access the context menu of each item. The choices available under this context menu for state and city are: 1. Save location as favorite. 2. Set location as watch. 3. Enable virtual navigation. 4. Close No option exists to provide a city or state other than where the app determines that you are. I feel that surely you must be able to do this so that you can virtually explore other locations further than 30 miles away but I'll be darned if I can figure out how to do it. If anyone out there has an answer, I'd love to hear it.

I don’t have the app, but am considering acquiring it, but will wait first for the forthcoming BlindSquare update to see what improvements arrive therein. I would imagine that to search a distant location, it would be necessary first to change the location on the first page of the app as demonstrated by Mike to the correct country, state, city and zip code. It’s not clear to me from the thread bits I’ve read on this topic if that’s been done. Once done, I suspect there’s a good chance the search function will work up to 30 miles from the location the app thinks it’s at from this information. Sorry if I’ve completely missed the boat, but with onboard maps, something has to direct the app to which location to use as its starting point for it’s 30 mile search radius..

I tried searching for the city as you suggested but no luck. If yiu can't search for locations further than 30 miles away, I consider that a serious short coming of the app. I guess we're only supposed to use it on nearby locations as the name implies.

So it could be that it can't search farther away than that. Perhaps try searching for the city, then set that as your virtual location, if that works, then you could search for a place and add it as a favorite. Good luck.

As I understand Nearby Explorer, in order to simulate a location in virtual mode, it has to be available in your app favorites or come up as a location following a search. I'm trying to place a location in virtual mode to which I'll be traveling later that is several hundred miles away from my current location. The Nearby Explorer search results appear to be limited to locations a maximum of 30 miles away. They also don't seem to interact with locations already saved in one's contacts as searches using Blindsquare do. Can someone please advise me how to access a location from within Nearby Explorer that is located in a distant city so I can add it to my NE favorites? Thanks in advance for your help.
