And currently (unless it ended already) Seeing Eye GPS is $100 off, so $199 instead of $299 for the XT version which you buy only once. If you were able to combine this with some discounted iTunes Gift Cards you could get it for little more than double of what Nearby Explorer costs and I agree that the breadcrums feature should be very useful for many people who need to cross open spaces.

Another consideration is where in the world you are located. You do not say and this is an important consideration for anyone asking for app recommendations. Nearby Explorer is only currently available in North America while the other two have maps for other parts of the world. Also, you do not say if you need the app in a language other than English. Nearby explorer supports only English while Blind Square supports more than 20 languages. English though is an international language spoken throughout the world by educated peple.
