Both the Seeing Eye GPS app and Nearby Explorer will do turn by turn directions from point A to point B and give you more information along the way. Both are designed for the blind. Google Maps and Apple Maps work well, but they won't tell you, for example, if you are coming up to a 4-way or 3-way intersection etc.

But, once you find the point of interest you want, Blind Square can launch Google maps, Apple Maps, or several paid GPS apps. If all you want is the turn-by-turn directions, Google Maps does a fine job.

Can you do the same with a GPS app like blindsquare? Say can you get directions from my house to a point of interest? Is there a GPS app that can do something like that? Thanks for any tips you can give. Lelia -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
