Hi I can't say anything about the Seeing eye gps as it hasen't come to Sweden yet, however i've tried Blindsquare and am not friends with it at all. I'm probably doing something wrong but i have noticed that when i turn into a street, Blindsquare doesn't announce the street i have turned into before i am well into it, maybe one or two blocks down and if i'm on the wrong street i may not know it for quite some time. The trekker breeze is quite responsive in this matter. I don't know why it is like this, maybe i don't know how to manage blindsquare. /Krister
