I use Around Me all the time. It’s Voiceover accessible. 

>From the description, it looks like both apps do more or less the same thing.

Hi,
Can you give the developer of places around?
I found two apps, not sure which is the correct one.
Thanks,
Rob

It's a small town about two hours east of Seattle. Leavenworth Washington. It 
has a very Bavarian feel. :-)  I hope I spelled that correctly.

 

There was a Groupon in my inbox the other day, with the subject nine 
destinations with in two hours driving distance from Seattle. :-)

 

I'm finding the app you suggested very easy to use. I like how it integrates 
with Google maps or Apple maps.

May I ask where you are going for your getaway?

Wow! Thanks for the app suggestion places around. It will meet my needs just 
fine. I'm already having fun looking for the nearest coffee spot and fun 
outdoor cafés.

 

Thanks again, I wasn't quite ready to spend $30 on blind square. :)

Hi Traci,

 

It would help if you could tell us what city/town you're going to visit, that 
way if there's a specialty app for that city/town, someone from that city/town 
could tell you if it exists.

 

For example, if you were coming to Toronto, I would tell you that you could 
visit the Toronto website, see what's in Toronto that would be worth seeing, 
and you could take public transit to each location, as all tourist destinations 
in Toronto are accessible by public transit.

 

In any case, if you're to rely solely on the GPS apps on your iPhone, you'll 
kill your battery, and not have a way to get back.  This way, you'll know your 
destination, and have a more reliable way of finding out about your destination.

Subject: Exploring a future destination

 

Hi all,

 

We are going on vacation next Month to a town that is suppose to be very 
walkable.  I want to enter the address of the hotel & plan some future walks to 
shops, restaurants, dog friendly area etc.  At this point on my iPhone, I have 
no special GPS apps.  I have maps, google maps, map quest, and a handful of 
public transit apps.  It is a small town we are going to, so public transit 
won't apply.

 

:) What do you suggest?  I have of course heard of blind square & Ariadne gps, 
would you recommend one of those?  Something else?

 

I thought I'd look at around me and walk score, but I'm not sure these apps 
will do what I want.

 

I'd love to use the app and pretend I'm on Front street walking in the town. If 
you know what I mean.

 

Thanks,

Traci
