I have used Apple Maps with great success when I had Edge. It worked every bit as good as it does now using LTE.

I wonder how the Seeing Eye app will be really different from that experience. Chicago has loads of one-way streets so turn by turn driving directions have limited value. I would very much like a short paid subscription. Apple Maps does not work in EDGE service. I would like to try the Seeing Eye ap to find out how it preforms in EDGE conditions. The fact that maps are through the Internet and not my device is a bummer. No cell phone carrier is available everywhere. However, a talking map can be indispensable and should be available at all times like Navigon. Mike May described his difficulty in developing both a high quality accessible GPS ap that was affordable in the March CSUN presentation. I would like a monthly subscription to understand how the app works under EDGE conditions. Those seeking a free or low cost solution are really advocating for a socialist society. I essentially live in one and life in this leftist paradise is not the utopia that many claim it to be.
