Mark, It was discussed under the wrong name a while ago. It was referred to as Mobile Assistant or something like that. Then someone gave its real name of Lazzus. At that time, it was not available in the US app store. I had written the developer to ask if it was going to be available in the US. He just wrote me today. In further emails with the developer, they are wanting feedback from anyone who wants to take the time to try it out. They are planning to announce a one time charge option, but right now it is a subscription program. They do have a free trial which they are also going to increase the distance allowed in the trial. It is a little like Blind Square with a slightly different approach and perhaps a little simpler. Given there is a free trial, it is worth checking out as another GPS option. Richard

The subscription rate as stated in the app is $26.99 per year or $3.99 per month. I only took a quick look at it so have not formed an opinion about it compared to other apps.
