Hello, Today I tried to use Seeing Eye GPS for the first time since updating to 9.2. It crashed at least three times and I gave up. Is anybody else having trouble? Any solutions yet? Thanks Nancy Nancy Badger, Ph.D Assistant Vice Chancellor, Student Services UT Chattanooga Sent from my iPhone

Hi. I find that apple maps on my phone is more accurate than the Trekker Breeze plus and also it is faster reacting. With Blindsquare I get informed that the GPS accuracy is 5 meters whaere as the Trekker is stated to be 10 meters. The advantage with the Trekker is it will tell you

Any GPS app for your iPhone will use data from your plan. Many other GPS apps will not give you the detailed information your use to with Trekker such as type of street crossing such as G Street crossing H street 4 way crossing. The GPS reciver in iPhone is ok but no match for your Trekker

There are GPS apps for your iPhone which download maps to your phone and then won't require you tu use your data plan. Therefore, you can download the maps over wifi and never need to use your data plan. On 10/24/2015 10:13 AM, Alan Paganelli wrote: Any GPS app for your iPhone will use data

Blind Square and Seeing Eye GPS do use data because they ping a server for realtime location data. I believe that they only download the data that they actually need as you move along. An app like Navigon stores its maps on the device, so has much less need to pull data from an online server
