Thanx for sharing this. I loved Mobile Geo back in the day, sense it was very precise when naming street names, intersections, etc, but I’ve had yet to find something that even comes close to that. I’ve loved Blindsquare and the like, but found its accuracy to not be as good, and would try to point out points of interest to Hannah, when I thought we were passing them, and it turned out we either already had, or weren’t as close to them as I was lead to believe, so she had no idea what I was talking about.
