well, perhaps I should try seeing eye gps. not sure if it even has maps
for Canada but easy enough to find out. does it store maps off line?
would prefer not as I have a rather large data bucket but it might be
handy. With blind square, the announcement stuff is pretty automatic. I
mostly use it when going somewhere new to keep me clued in on where I
am. Typically, for route planning, I use google maps to get turn by
turn or work out transit things in cities where I have never been.
I have navigon but last time I tried, I couldn't work out how to get
maps properly.

I may just try the free 30 day trial option again, and see how I like
it. One of the reasons I didn't like it, and this wasn't really the
app's fault, was that it ran super, super slowly on my iPhone 4S.
Google Maps and Lyft used to do this as well, but both of those apps
are now running great on my iPhone 6S, so hopefully the same will be
true for Seeing Eye GPS.
Thanks,
Ari

Hey Guys,
I am on the opposite side of the coin. I find the Seeing Eye GPS app
much more intuitive for my use. I really love the improvements to the
app with the newest update. The tabs down at the bottom of the app
screen are now all on one level, and for low vision users they have
added some new text and interface color options. Just a note I am not
low vision but my business partner loves the improvements to the low
vision aspect of the app now. I have found the look around features
of The Seeing Eye app to more than adequate. But once again different
strokes for different folks.
Just thought I would throw my two sense into the conversation.

Hi,
You can change the intersection distance from short, medium or long
inside the app setting. I periodicaly shake my phone to check my
location to get updates. Hope that helps.Regards,

I tried Seeing Eye GPS a while back, and while I really did like
the turn-by-turn directions, and especially the intersection
analisous, I think BlindSquare may be a better fit for me. I mostly
need something that will tell me my nearest intersection, like
Sendero Lookaround used to do before it broke. So, my question is,
I know BlindSquare can do what I want, but does it do it
automatically, or can I do something to make it happen? I'd rather
have the feature be a manual control, like in Sendero Lookaround.
Thanks,
Ari

I tried Seeing eye because it was from the company that made my
Sendero GPS on my voice note. I did like it because it was so
similar with the turn by turns. Price wise, I switched to BSQ and
have been enjoying it ever since. I use it with Navagon and it has
been a treat. I was told that I can virtually walk through an area
to see what is around there. As soon as I figure out how to do it
I'm going to practice practice practice. This was a feature I used
frequently on my Sendero GPS.

I too found BlindSquare better for look around features. If the
turn by turn directions of seeing eye gps can be had on
blindsquare, it'd be great. I use blindsquare simotaniously with
google maps and i get theinformation i need.

Hello. I just made a comparison between sendero and blindsquare
and blindsquare came out head and shoulders ahead for my needs.
I brought up sendero and got a breadcrumb to my dumpster entered
and then routed to it. I invoked the route and began walking
with the screen locked and got not a peep out of the app during
the entire route. I unlocked the screen and got a little info
but not much. I felt much more supported using blindsquare. I
will gladly trade the lack of intersection analysis in
blindsquare for its much more supportive stance with the user.
If blindsquare could include intersection analysis, I would
consider it a truly great app.
