Hello there, Thank you Aravind for the response. I haven't heard of we walk will check it out. Blindsquare I have seen demoed at a few places online, but I believe it uses other maps to provide those directions and again is quite affected by the accuracy of those map apps that it uses. Does it work well in india given it's asking price? Cheers.
