Indeed, I often know the streets but just don'w know where on a street a destination is. So, I can get to the street, then use Blindsquare to tell me whre to go from there, or even get into the area and have it tell me. At least, I imagine I can - I don't currently have $20 to drop on this app, but it will be my next big purchase. On Jul 12, 2013, at 4:47 PM, Eugenia Firth <[email protected]> wrote:
