Yeah gps isn't too accurate. I was reading an article a while back about
some new gps technology in the works that would give you accuracy within
3 feet, which is incredible. can't remember what the article was though
hahaha. Have you guys tried an app called Clew? That's C L E W. uses AR
for navigation. very interesting.

Given the accuracy, or lack there of, with GPS, you are going to be 50

If you have perfect GPS satellite access, you might get within 30 feet.
That being said, have you tried dropping favorites with BlindSquare or
Lazarillo?
They both can do that.
But without physical landmarks, it would be hard to rely on GPS only.

*Subject:* Re: Lazarillo or BlindSquare
and it begs a question here, because we both have Blind Square and
like it. We live in a mobile home park, and it's absolutely
crazy-making finding our way from point A to point Be in here. We wish
to find an app that will allow us to drop bread crumbs so we know
absolutely where we are at every given minute. It would be rather
embarrassing to carry a cake to the wrong neighbor, or appear
somewhere we should not, all ready to swim. The embarrassing scenario
possibilities are endless. We've got lots of programs on our phones,
Curt has his Trek, but we haven't yet found just the right thing. *sigh*(

Can you set up as a point of interest areas otherwise not found on
the maps in any of the free apps? Such as a specific building on
a university campus ?

For those who do not want to pay $39.99 for Blind Square, take
a look at the free Lazarillo app.
It does not have the depth of features that Blind Square has;
but it is a good orientation app.
If you want a walking route, you can get that from within
Lazarillo.
If you want a driving route, it can launch Google or Apple
Maps I believe and run in the background to tell you about
streets or Points Of Interest.
I turn off explore mode when first launching or it continues
to talk about places around you which interrupts hearing what
you want in learning the app.
