I took the suggestion to move my phone closer so it wasn’t being shielded by my 
body when walking today and that seems to have done the trick. 

The GPS still is a bit off for my liking but that’s more the app than the 
hardware. It also indicated a point of interest today that it didn’t yesterday 
which was promising. The turns and directions were in sync today, both phone 
and Watch and were given much closer to the turns. Checking the Watch to see 
how far you are from said turn still requires stopping. I tested this both 
walking and stopped. when walking the older measurement stays on screen for a 
while and it takes several seconds to recalibrate. When stopping, things catch 
up to each other nicely by the time I drop the guide dog harness handle and 
activate the Watch. 

I’m really curious to see what say, Blind Square, will do with this capability. 

How about an app for just the cross streets. It could use Apple Maps and sync 
with the iPhone to simply give the haptic when you are within the standard 70 
to 30 feet of an intersection then the street layout would be spoken. The 
potential is certainly there.
