Keith, If you have Nearby Explorer, you will not want to run Blind Square at the same time, since they will both be trying to tell you of the cross streets from slightly different perspectives and with different map data, so that could be rather confusing. Not to mention they would also have different information about points of interest. And, as others have said, you will not want to run more than one app that does turn-by-turn navigation. I think of these apps this way. Blind Square is a good orientation app. Google Maps is a good turn-by-turn navigation app. I personally do not like the interface of Apple Maps, but I'm probably in the minority there. Nearby Explorer and Seeing Eye GPS are very good for both orientation and turn-by-turn navigation. Because of the map data being downloaded onto your phone, Nearby Explorer will work in more places in the United States than will Seeing Eye GPS, assuming you have the 4 plus gigabytes available on your phone for their maps. Navigon is also a very good turn-by-turn app, and you can save space on your device by only downloading maps for just the states you will be traveling in. But, it does not help with the local streets you are crossing the way Blind Square, Nearby Explorer and Seeing Eye GPS do. Then to muddy the waters even more, there is MapQuest in the United States which is another, very good, turn-by-turn navigation app that uses maps from the cloud. I hope that helps rather than confuses. Richard
