The difference between Blindsquare and Ariadne though is that Blindsquare only announces street crossings and so forth when you have it set to track a favorite, whereas Ariadne does it all the time. Blindsquare is a bit more verbose than Ariadne though, so depending on how much babbling you want, one app might be better than the other. /Krister
