Re: How do Nearby Explorer and Sendaro Seeing GPS compare?

[Ed Worrell]

That may be. You can change the source of the POI’s in the Seeing Eye GPS 
application. You don’t have to use the 4 square POIs as your source… If you use 
Google your POI’s are limited to what Google has in the data base.

Re: How do Nearby Explorer and Sendaro Seeing GPS compare?

[Kelly Pierce]

If you think junk poi's are meaningless, take a visit to big city
Chicago and get ready to be overwhelmed.  people geo tag regular
stopping locations for their favorite food trucks, their friend's
bachelor pad, bike share stations, bus stops that have been since
relocated, and restaurants that no longer exist.  As urban life
churns, the geo tags live on.

Re: How do Nearby Explorer and Sendaro Seeing GPS compare?

[Ed Worrell]

POI’s aren’t a bad thing… It will allow you to learn the environment and your 
surroundings and help you become more confident in your surroundings. I find 
POI’s to be very helpful in travel. I always remember though that POI’s can 
change, and aren’t always correct. POI’s to me are a very helpful feature.

Isn’t POI’s being more spam a bad thing? Curious. Thanks, Keith

Hi, for me personally, nearby explorer works much better than seeing eye. More 
accurate better instructions and points of interest are more spam. Again that's

I find that the Seeing Eye GPS works much better than the NearBy Explorer app.

app is not that intuitive. I also find that the NearBy Explorer app doesn’t 
work well  whilst  in a car. The Seeing Eye GPS app blows it out of the water 
with it’s accuracy all around. I also have used both apps at the same time and 
The Seeing Eyes POI’s are far better than NearBy Explorer. Much more accurate.

Hi, for me personally, nearby explorer works much better than seeing eye. More 
accurate better instructions and points of interest are more spam. Again that's 
only my opinion

Re: How do Nearby Explorer and Sendaro Seeing GPS compare?

Hi does the seeing eye app do turn by turn directions while you are in A 
car?


If so how well does that work?

Also how much does it cost to get the seeing app GPS and keep it updated?

Hi Keith,
If you have Nearby Explorer or Seeing Eye GPS you really shouldn't need to run 
another app such as Maps or Google Maps at the same time since both of these

Mike, maybe it's time for another comparison between Seeing Eye and Nearby 
Explorer at the current state of both apps since I'm sure both have added 
features and improved since you last did this.

It usually does unless the destination is right on a corner, in that 
case, it may not announce it since it may not be able to determine the 
correct side.

to feel around on the screen to get the information that nearby

Sendaro Seeing Eye. Is there one of these that clearly stands out?

RE: How do Nearby Explorer and Sendaro Seeing GPS compare?

[Sieghard Weitzel]

I agree with Kelly and for me it makes more sense to force quit the GPS app. If 
I turn off location services completely this means other apps I use which rely 
on location services also don't work properly, e.g. I may want to take a 
picture and have it geo tagged, I simply may want to ask SIRI "What is my 
current location" if I want a general idea as to what street I am on and in 
what address range I am.
Bluetooth doesn't really come into play here unless you use an external GPS 
receiver whic is connected to your phone via bluetooth and since I have an 
Apple Watch I definitely would not want to turn off bluetooth.


Regards,
Sieghard

Kelly, you can leave the GPS app running, just shut off Location Services and 
Bluetooth, if your GPS needs Blutooth.
I go this way if I'm pre programing in a new location to get to.

All GPS apps have the biggest battery drain of all the apps on your i Phone. 
Nearby Explorer seems to drain a little more slowly than other mapping apps.  I 
am also vigilant about battery conservation now than in the past.  I only open 
mapping and GPS app at the exact moment when I need them.  When I reach my 
destination, I close these apps and force quit them so they do not run in the  
background.

RE: How do Nearby Explorer and Sendaro Seeing GPS compare?

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Only way to do this is to use an app where you can set a number of custom 
waypoints which you can later use, I doubt any apps will help out of the box. 
Large parking lots or finding stores in more commercial areas where you often 
have no sidewalks or sidewalks which run along the street and then you have 
maybe some grass and a parallel access road in front of the businesses followed 
by parking spaces is always a huge challenge.
Often when I use any GPS app to find places like that I get the notification 
that I have arrived at my destination only to find myself 100 feet from the 
door with open area to cross. If it's a place where I go to often I try to set 
a point when I'm standing right by the front door, at least then I can use the 
getting warmer function of the Seeing Eye app to find it.
Mike, somebody mentioned that Nearby Explorer doesn't give you basic 
intersection information like what you get with the Seeing Eye app, e.g. 3-way 
intersection, 4-way etc. Is that so? I really like this especially if it is a 
3-way since if I am on the opposite side of where a cross street dead ends in a 
T intersection I may never know about it unless the app tells me so or if I 
expect that I have to cross  a street on the side that I'm on and nothing comes 
up it can also be confusing.
Also, does Nearby Explorer include any transit information in particular bus 
stops?

Sieghard

There is a list for BlindSquare you can join to ask about this.  As per your 
question, you might be able to set points of interest, I think that would be 
under My Places.  

 

I have this app but haven’t done this so don’t know exactly how it works.

RE: How do Nearby Explorer and Sendaro Seeing GPS compare?

[Mike Ulrich]

Hey, could you make your own route and then save it?
As in; if you have a sightling walk you through a particular parking lot; say 
from a bus stop, then walk through the parking lot to your destination; thereby 
saving this custom route?
I think you might be able to do this with Seeing Eye, as a personal point of 
interest?
That's what I'd like to do.

It may help since it will report what direction you are traveling, parking lots

Mike… Does nearby explorer announce what side the street the destination is on? 
I know there were some issues with this in the past, have updates improve 
things?

Hi Keith,


If you have Nearby Explorer or Seeing Eye GPS you really shouldn't need 
to run another app such as Maps or Google Maps at the same time since 
both of these apps give you current information as you walk as well as 
turn by turn directions. Blindsquare gives you information about what 
street you are on and what cross streets are coming up and so on, but 
it doesn't navigate so that is where running two apps comes in. I also 
find that Blindsquare which uses Open Street Maps is sometimes not as 
accurate and a few months ago when I was in Calgary I was in an area 
where surprisingly it gave me nothing, but Seeing Eye worked fine. 
Blindsquare also does not tell you the type of intersection like 4-way 
or 3-way etc., that is something I really like with the Seeing Eye app 
and have always liked in the past when I had a Trekker Maestro or the

Maybe somebody can confirm this, but I assume and hope Nearby Explorer 
gives you that information? Based on some of the statements I heard and 
especially that recent updates have really improved Nearby Explorer, I 
am tempted to buy it.
Mike, maybe it's time for another comparison between Seeing Eye and 
Nearby Explorer at the current state of both apps since I'm sure both 
have added features and improved since you last did this.

Sieghard

RE: How do Nearby Explorer and Sendaro Seeing GPS compare?

[Mike Ulrich]

Kelly, you can leave the GPS app running, just shut off Location Services and 
Bluetooth, if your GPS needs Blutooth.
I go this way if I'm pre programing in a new location to get to.

All GPS apps have the biggest battery drain of all the apps on your i Phone. 
Nearby Explorer seems to drain a little more slowly than other mapping apps.  I 
am also vigilant about battery conservation now than in the past.  I only open 
mapping and GPS app at the exact moment when I need them.  When I reach my 
destination, I close these apps and force quit them so they do not run in the  
background.

Hi.  Can anyone tell me how the battery life of the cell phone behaves while 
running nearby explorer?  Does it kill your battery quickly?… or, are many 
people using iPods with an external GPS receiver?  Thanks.

I'm not quite understanding your question. If you set landmarks, you will be 
able to navigate a parking lot with these landmarks in place.

Re: How do Nearby Explorer and Sendaro Seeing GPS compare?

[Mike Arrigo]

I plan on it, just have to find the time to do it, but I can already 
tell you that nearby explorer is going to blow the seeing eye app out 
of the water.

Original message:

Hi Keith,


If you have Nearby Explorer or Seeing Eye GPS you really shouldn't need 
to run another app such as Maps or Google Maps at the same time since 
both of these apps give you current information as you walk as well as 
turn by turn directions. Blindsquare gives you information about what 
street you are on and what cross streets are coming up and so on, but 
it doesn't navigate so that is where running two apps comes in. I also 
find that Blindsquare which uses Open Street Maps is sometimes not as 
accurate and a few months ago when I was in Calgary I was in an area 
where surprisingly it gave me nothing, but Seeing Eye worked fine. 
Blindsquare also does not tell you the type of intersection like 4-way 
or 3-way etc., that is something I really like with the Seeing Eye app 
and have always liked in the past when I had a Trekker Maestro or the 
MobileGeo app on my old Windows smartphone back in the stone ages.
Maybe somebody can confirm this, but I assume and hope Nearby Explorer 
gives you that information? Based on some of the statements I heard and 
especially that recent updates have really improved Nearby Explorer, I 
am tempted to buy it.
Mike, maybe it's time for another comparison between Seeing Eye and 
Nearby Explorer at the current state of both apps since I'm sure both 
have added features and improved since you last did this.



Regards,
Sieghard

Thanks for chiming in Mike. I was hoping you would, since I know you 
have done some thorough work with both apps.
I have not done enough with both to make such a strong statement, but I 
have no reason to disagree. Each release of Nearby Explorer is getting better.

BlindSquare simultaneously with Google maps is powerful. What are you trying to 
gain from the other options? What are you currently not liking with your combo?

Re: How do Nearby Explorer and Sendaro Seeing GPS compare?

[Richard Turner]

Keith,
If you have Nearby Explorer, you will not want to run Blind Square at the same 
time, since they will both be trying to tell you of the cross streets from 
slightly different perspectives and with different map data, so that could be 
rather confusing.
Not to mention they would also have different information about points of 
interest.
And, as others have said, you will not want to run more than one app that does 
turn-by-turn navigation. I think of these apps this way.
Blind Square is a good orientation app.
Google Maps is a good turn-by-turn navigation app.
I personally do not like the interface of Apple Maps, but I'm probably in the 
minority there.
Nearby Explorer and Seeing Eye GPS are very good for both orientation and 
turn-by-turn navigation.
Because of the map data being downloaded onto your phone, Nearby Explorer will 
work in more places in the United States than will Seeing Eye GPS, assuming you 
have the 4 plus gigabytes available on your phone for their maps.
Navigon is also a very good turn-by-turn app, and you can save space on your 
device by only downloading maps for just the states you will be traveling in.
But, it does not help with the local streets you are crossing the way Blind 
Square, Nearby Explorer and Seeing Eye GPS do.
Then to muddy the waters even more, there is MapQuest in the United States 
which is another, very good, turn-by-turn navigation app that uses maps from 
the cloud.
I hope that helps rather than confuses.
Richard

The last I knew, nearby explorer didn't give as complete an intersection

It would be cool for those who ownnavigon if ne could use those maps, sure 
would save space. Right now I just use blindsquare and either google or apple

Thanks, I forgot to mention the fact that Nearby Explorer downloads the maps 
onto your phone.
That is a huge difference that I completely spaced.
That is a good advantage in case you travel through an area that doesn't have 
decent cell coverage. You just need to be able to use a few satellites, which 
is easier than you would think.
Navigon is another GPS app that stores the maps on the phone, but Nearby 
Explorer has been designed for visually impaired, so it gives you more 
information. than Navigon.

Thanks for chiming in Mike. I was hoping you would, since I know you have done 
some thorough work with both apps.
I have not done enough with both to make such a strong statement, but I have no 
reason to disagree. Each release of Nearby Explorer is getting better.
JMO,

RE: How do Nearby Explorer and Sendaro Seeing GPS compare?

[Mike Ulrich]

I'd roll with Nearby Explorer too, but with my little old 16 Gig 5S; I'm too 
limited on space.
My next IPhone will be at least 64 Gigs for sure. Lesson learned.

Re: How do Nearby Explorer and Sendaro Seeing GPS compare?

[Mike Arrigo]

No contest here, nearby explorer is better, hands down. When you change 
direction with nearby explorer, the new direction is automatically 
spoken, and the upcoming street is announced as soon as it can be 
determined. With the Sendero app, it doesn't speak the approaching 
street until you are just about there. With the Sendero app, you have 
to feel around on the screen to get the information that nearby 
explorer provides automatically. I think Sendero will need to make some 
major improvements to their app if it is to remain competitive.

Re: How do Nearby Explorer and Sendaro Seeing GPS compare?

[Richard Turner]

Thanks, I forgot to mention the fact that Nearby Explorer downloads the maps 
onto your phone.
That is a huge difference that I completely spaced.
That is a good advantage in case you travel through an area that doesn't have 
decent cell coverage. You just need to be able to use a few satellites, which 
is easier than you would think.
Navigon is another GPS app that stores the maps on the phone, but Nearby 
Explorer has been designed for visually impaired, so it gives you more 
information. than Navigon.

Re: How do Nearby Explorer and Sendaro Seeing GPS compare?

[Kelly Pierce]

Keith,

without knowing more about you and your personal situation, it is
difficult to say one product is better for you than the other.  Blind
end users have produced extensive demonstrations of both products and
I would strongly suggest giving these a listen.  I live in Chicago in
one of the most densely populated neighborhoods in America.
Multi-story buildings are right up against the sidewalk.  GPS aps that
require a continual data connection do not seem as accurate in this
environment as Nearby Explorer that does not use a data connection for
maps.

Kelly

RE: How do Nearby Explorer and Sendaro Seeing GPS compare?

[Kevin Minor]

Hi.

Another difference between Seeing Eye and Nearby Explorer is that you need a 
data connection for Seeing Eye because it downloads the maps you’re using.  
Nearby Explorer stores all the maps on the iPhone, and this takes up 4 gigs of 
storage.

Hope this is helpful.

Have a blessed day and don’t work too hard.

Re: How do Nearby Explorer and Sendaro Seeing GPS compare?

[Richard Turner]

It really depends on what you are looking for.
If you are happy with the way Blind Square tells you about upcoming streets, 
etc., then I would stick with using Blind Square and Google or Apple Maps.
You get the street names being announced by Blind Square, and the turn-by-turn 
directions from either Google or Apple.
Both Nearby Explorer and Seeing Eye GPS announce streets you are approaching, 
granted they use a slightly different method for that, so you could replace the 
use of Blind Square with one of those which also then gives you turn-by-turn 
directions.
Frankly, I have not done a thorough comparison of Nearby and Seeing Eye, due to 
lack of time.
It would be nice if someone would do a side-by-side comparison.
It would appear that Seeing Eye is having a sale during CSUN this week, so you 
may want to check it out. I think they are lowering the one-year subscription 
price to $39.99, from $69.99 for a short time.
The full XT version of Seeing Eye is $299.99.
But, no subscription renewal to deal with that way.
Nearby is a one time $79.99 price.
I hope that helps a little,
Richard
