Hi. Not much help, but I think you can turn off that feature.
From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Sieghard Weitzel Sent: Wednesday, October 19, 2016 2:38 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: A Blindsquare question about constant distance travelled announcements Hi, I had uninstalled Blindsquare some time ago and as I am in Calgary right now and use GPS more frequently I thought I put it back and see how it is. Today I was at an Ikea in the far Southeast of the city which is a fairly industrial zone and I started it up just to let it tell me my streets and cross streets. When I used the headset remote to stop it at “Location” it didn’t actually give me my location/address and then it told me that I had travelled 95 metres in 1 minute and consequently kept telling me every couple of seconds that I now had travelled 100 metres in 1 minute, then 105 metres, then 110 metres etc. I seem to remember that I had this issue before and it was one of the reasons why I uninstalled it. It seems when it starts telling me the distance walked it just won’t stop and it’s extremely annoying. Do any of you Blindsquare experts have any suggestions how I can stop it doing this? Unfortunately it also seems Calgary Transit is not one of the places where transit information is available since I have been at many a bus stop and Blindsquare never seems to know this. I may be blind and a german square head, but Blindsquare and I just don’t seem to get along *smile*. Incidently I asked SIRI “What is my current location” after which SIRI usually replies with an approximate address. This time SIRI told me that I was in Calgary, Alberta, which of course was not news to me yet it was of course of little help. I then started the Seeing Eye app and it immediately told me the address where I was and announced the street and upcoming cross street.
