Hi yes I'm aware of Sendero being on the market but it's not a full solution navigation app. I now personally think that Apple's new release and it's capabilities has left Android further behind. Android has to start picking up and app developpers have to be made to make their apps accessible before we half of the blind community start jumping on the Android wagon.
