Hi Todd,
Blind Square only uses street map data from a free data source called “Open Street Map”, and it’s quite inaccurate. In my location, it has street names wrong, and locations of intersections off by hundreds of yards (or meters). Sendero uses a commercial map supplier, and it’s data is quite accurate, but of course much more expensive. I’ve written to the author of Blind Square to ask if he could add a feature to allow users to report mapping errors, report corrections to street names and locations, etc., and he said no, it’s not ever going to be in his plans. He only downloads new maps once a year to begin with, so he doesn’t think offering corrections would even be helpful to such infrequent updates. There is a third mapping choice called Arriadne GPS, which is even less expensive than Blind Square, but which uses Google Mapping data which I believe is constantly updated and is more accurate for street map locations (but may not be as accurate for business locations).

Maps app is OK but need a more of an app that will tell me where I am while the car is moving on the road. Know anything like this? Thank y’all.
