That app is great if you aren't in new housing developments.  It seems Googgle is the first to add new addresses to their maps.  I learned this by experience about 5 years ago.  It is still true to this day.  This has happened many times through my families travels up until today.

I also use and recommend Good Maps Outdoors. For a mainstream navigation app, I recently just downloaded Google’s Waze app. Not sure why Google has two different navigation apps, but Waze is  supposed to give more detailed information on things like traffic jams, round abouts and more. I haven’t used it yet, but I’m planning on trying it out when I’m the navigator for my wife when we’re driving somewhere.

    Oh wow. OK, cool. I will tell you, if there is a issue with cost,
    I recommend expressing this to Ilkka.

        So, I concluded they had not purchased anything like
        BlindSquare yet and its $40 price tag is a lot for many students.

        But, good point, once you have purchased an app, whether you
        delete it or not, if you redownload it, there is no charge.

        It's worth noting, that if you've already bought it, and it's
        just not on your phone. You won't need to pay for it again.

                Hello,

                What navigation/GPS apps are you using these days?

                I tried Lazarillo and didn’t find it as good as I’d
                remembered when
                it first came out. That’s purely subjective. I felt
                the directions
                and general awareness weren’t consistent, but again,
                just a me thing.

                I tried VoiceVista and did not find it quite as good
                as I’d
                remembered SoundScape.

                I’m going to keep working with both apps, because I’m
                convinced it’s
                just me quickly opening apps when I need them in the
                moment and not
                necessarily exploring them when I have a little more
                time to
                familiarize myself with the interface.

                I like Google Maps and the native Maps app, the former
                slightly more
                for its ability to tell me if the destination is on
                the left or
                right, but I feel as though I have to supplement these
                with a third
                party app to get a more complete experience. In my
                opinion, nothing
                compares to Nearby Explorer, but I’m working with
                blind students who
                would ideally get the right navigation app at little
                or no cost.

                Thank you kindly in advance for your recommendations
                and explanation
                for what makes your navigation app the best one in
                your opinion.

                Thanks,

                Joe
