Re: Nearby Explorer for IOS is now in the US App Store

It's not free on android. There is a version that uses online that is free. But the version with the onboard maps cost the same on both operating systems. It had been $100 on android, or 99 something. They drop the price when the iOS version came out. There are other differences between the

RE: Nearby Explorer for IOS is now in the US App Store

When you compare the accuracy of the map data you may reconsider. As Richard said, you can get along by using Google Maps with Blind Square, but in my opinion their map data is so poor that you have to use something else; and then what are you getting from Blind Square except place data, which

RE: Nearby Explorer for IOS is now in the US App Store

The maps in BlindSquare are, in my opinion, some of the worst available. They come from a source named "Open Street Map", and are free. When I complained to the developer of Blind Square as to how inaccurate they were for my city, and asked how could we report map issues to get corrected, he

Re: Nearby Explorer for IOS is now in the US App Store

If Nearby uses Openstreetmap, it’s even more strange that it doesn’t cover Sweden, only the US and Canada. Oh well, shrug. /Krister > 19 aug. 2016 kl. 15:27 skrev Joe : > > Does anyone know what maps Nearby Explorer uses and how often they're > updated? I know it uses Open

The on board maps are from navteq, you can also choose to use apple maps for addresses. For places, you can choose to use google or foursquare which are probably the two best sources of this infoormation. Original message: Does anyone know what maps Nearby Explorer uses and how often they're

RE: Nearby Explorer for IOS is now in the US App Store

Hi, That's steep but worth it if it's better. If they were smart, they would offer a 5-10 buck trial and maybe let you apply that to the total price if you buy the app before your trial period expires. Where can we hear the voice or does it use voiceover? Bryan -Original Message- From:

There is no comparison here, nearby explorer is so much better than seeing eye, it's announcements are much better and it provides much more information. If you enjoyed using the seeing eye app, you will absolutely love nearby explorer. Original message: For those who have purchased nearby

I was a beta tester of this app, and used it on android before that. I honestly think this is the best GPS app available for blind users, get the app, you will not regret it. If you thought seeing eye GPS was good, you will absolutely love this app, it's so much better than seeing eye ever

Nearby Explorer is $99 on Android, unless they changed the price in the last couple of months. Nearby Explorer, which I have never used but know someone who uses it on Android, has turn-by-turn directions which BlindSquare does not. However, BlindSquare along with Google Maps is a great

This app from American Printing House, which has been available for a few years for Android devices, is now available on the IOS App Store for $79. Its set of features looks impressive, and if nothing else, is definitely worth locating in the app store and reading the description. Can my credit
