But the true implication of this depends on where you are. Here in los
Angeles, the environment is pretty much built over, so the street map does
not change. I have a working Trekker Maestro, and the maps have not been
updated in years, but are still accurate. What changes, of course, are the
Hi Keith,
I believe it actually makes very little difference. Either way, you must
first use GPS to get your latitude and longitude (I believe this is the big
drain on power), and then with this info, you lookup your street
address/location in your map data by either querying via the
Hey Mark,
I can confirm that I have the same results in my testing of the apps side by
side. The NerBy app has a definite issue with telling accurate distances. The
Seeing Eye GPS is always on target.
Thanks,

Thank you Mark for your analysis and testing results.
I wanted to offer one correction however: GPS apps in no way have to take into

Hi Mark. Those are some very interesting observations and so completely
different from what I heard on Mike's demo. I'd be really interested in knowing
why the difference is so huge. I haven't purchased the app but if I had and
experienced such terrible accuracy, I'd be asking for a refund.
