Hi Kay, I have never signed up for a FourSquare account, yet I can add a place in My Places and this place will only be on your iPhone in BlindSquare and completely private. So, no worries, if you add your house, I am not going to show up with 50 others from the list on Saturday evening for a party *smile*.

My question is when you add a place, isn't that public for everyone else to view? So for example, if you marked your house would that make this info public?

Hi Jennifer, As Anna already pointed out, go to My Places, then at the top right is an Add Place button. When you double tap on that it may put in an address if you are on a street, but you can use the Clear All button and type in your own description. After that is a checkbox if you want to have BlindSquare automatically alert you when you approach the place. If you check it, there is one more field to fill out and that is the distance at which you will be alerted, enter a number which would be the number of feet or metres depending on where you are. As for accuracy, BlindSquare will be as accurate as the GPS signal you get and the receiver the iPhone has. |I have never seen accuracy displayed as less than 5 m (approx.. 16 feet) on the iPhone. When I placed my last Garmin order for my store (I sell their outdoor handheld units) I ordered a GLO which is their external bluetooth receiver for the iPhone. I thought given that it acquires both satellites from the GPS and Glonas system which is a network of Russian satellites, I thought |I might get better accuracy, but unless that is something BlindSquare doesn't portrait accurately, whenever I go to tools and GPS info when I have the G\lo turned on and paired, it tells me the accuracy is 10 metres or approx. 33 feet. When I walk it seems to be just as accurate as far as telling me about intersections and I really have to spend some time setting 2 user defined points, one with and one without the external receiver and then approach them once again with or without to really find out if the GLO is more accurate. I would expect at least 3 m or 10 feet accuracy with it.

Hi. How do I program a landmark in blind square? Also, how accurate will it be in getting to this landmark? Is there a better program to create your own pois that is more accurate? thanks Jenifer Barr Sent from my iPhone -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group.
