Hi Keith, If you have Nearby Explorer or Seeing Eye GPS you really shouldn't need to run another app such as Maps or Google Maps at the same time since both of these apps give you current information as you walk as well as turn by turn directions. Blindsquare gives you information about what street you are on and what cross streets are coming up and so on, but it doesn't navigate so that is where running two apps comes in. I also find that Blindsquare which uses Open Street Maps is sometimes not as accurate and a few months ago when I was in Calgary I was in an area where surprisingly it gave me nothing, but Seeing Eye worked fine. Blindsquare also does not tell you the type of intersection like 4-way or 3-way etc., that is something I really like with the Seeing Eye app and have always liked in the past when I had a Trekker Maestro or the MobileGeo app on my old Windows smartphone back in the stone ages. Maybe somebody can confirm this, but I assume and hope Nearby Explorer gives you that information? Based on some of the statements I heard and especially that recent updates have really improved Nearby Explorer, I am tempted to buy it. Mike, maybe it's time for another comparison between Seeing Eye and Nearby Explorer at the current state of both apps since I'm sure both have added features and improved since you last did this.

Thanks to all for the info. What adbantages could I expect from having both Nearby Explorer and Blindsquare (with Apple Maps or Google Maps for assist)?

Thanks for chiming in Mike. I was hoping you would, since I know you have done some thorough work with both apps. I have not done enough with both to make such a strong statement, but I have no reason to disagree. Each release of Nearby Explorer is getting better.
