Hi does the seeing eye app do turn by turn directions while you are in A
car?
If so how well does that work?
Also how much does it cost to get the seeing app GPS and keep it updated?

Hello all,
I find that the Seeing Eye GPS works much better than the NearBy Explorer app.
I also find that the interface is much cleaner on the Seeing Eye GPS
application. The way that you have to add/search for addresses in the NearBy
app is not that intuitive. I also find that the NearBy Explorer app doesn’t
work well whilst in a car. The Seeing Eye GPS app blows it out of the water
with it’s accuracy all around. I also have used both apps at the same time and
The Seeing Eyes POI’s are far better than NearBy Explorer. Much more accurate.
and I understand that everyone has a difference of what they like for
interfaces, and what they see as being more accurate. This is just what I have
experienced with the two apps.
I hop this helps, and remember it’s just what I prefer.

In my limited experience as a beta tester of Nesrby Explorer in the U.K., I
find that the app never tells me whether the Favourite I am watching is on
right or left

It usually does unless the destination is right on a corner, in that case, it
may not announce it since it may not be able to determine the correct side.

Mike… Does nearby explorer announce what side the street the destination is on?
I know there were some issues with this in the past, have updates improve
things?
Thanks!

It may help since it will report what direction you are traveling, parking lots

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.
Regards,
Sieghard

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.
JMO,
Richard

No contest here, nearby explorer is better, hands down. When you change
direction with nearby explorer, the new direction is automatically spoken, and
the upcoming street is announced as soon as it can be determined. With the
Sendero app, it doesn't speak the approaching street until you are just about
there. With the Sendero app, you have to feel around on the screen to get the
information that nearby explorer provides automatically. I think Sendero will
need to make some major improvements to their app if it is to remain
competitive.

Hi,
I’m looking to supplement my Blindsquare with either Nearby Explorer or Sendaro
Seeing Eye. Is there one of these that clearly stands out?
Thanks in advance, Keith --
