RE: Seeing Eye GPS App, Worth It?
Yes, you can use Navigon with BlindSquare. Find the destination in BlindSquare. If you want to, turn tracking on in the BlindSquare screen for the destination to get periodic updates telling you how far you are from the destination and in which direction it is. This is helpful sometimes to let you know that you have passed the destination. From the destination screen in BlindSquare, double tap the Plan a route button. BlindSquare will list the GPS apps you have installed that it supports for providing turn by turn navigation instructions. If you have Navigon installed, it will be in the list. When you double tap any GPS app in the list, BlindSquare will launch that app and paste in the destination. You then double tap the Start navigation button in the upper right corner of the Navigon screen. Navigon may then ask you to choose vehicle or pedestrian navigation.

RE: Seeing Eye GPS App, Worth It?
Not quite what I was looking for, but I did find the response to my question. The answer is no, one cannot currently create a POI out of thin air as you could in Ariadne or MyWay. At the moment you have to create a POI in Four Square and then look for that POI from within the Seeing Eye GPS app. I guess it's not altogether complicated but kind of a pain in the...well, to each his own. I read through the user manual earlier and was not convinced it can replace my current method of using Ariadne and the free Sendero Lookaround app. With the latter I especially enjoy being able to shake the phone for updated cross street information. Thanks again guys for your feedback. -- Twitter: @ScribblingJoe Visit my blog: http://joeorozco.com/blog From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Charles Rivard Sent: Monday, September 29, 2014 11:03 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Seeing Eye GPS App, Worth It?

Excellent. This was exactly the kind of feedback I was looking for. I don't mind plunking down the money but want to make sure it lives up to expectation. As far as I know, there is no means of trying out the app except for the month-long subscription, which albeit fairly priced is still money out of the wallet. Thanks guys. I'm especially intrigued that one need only run one app for orientation. One more question though, is it possible to drop a point of interest at a specific location similar to Ariadne, or is it necessary to tie the POI to a specific address? -- Twitter: @ScribblingJoe Visit my blog: http://joeorozco.com/blog From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Charles Rivard Sent: Sunday, September 28, 2014 3:55 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Seeing Eye GPS App, Worth It? It depends on what you consider as being cost efficient. I think that, by far, it is the absolute best GPS available for a blind traveler. It is the easiest to enter data into. Pros and cons: I have gotten updates to other GPS apps that broke their accessibility until another update fixed the issues. That will not happen with the Seeing Eye app, because it is specifically designed for blind users. The app is not self contained. By that, I mean that maps are not part of the app. You must have cellular coverage when traveling, because the maps are accessed using your data. That is both a plus and a minus, in that, while your data is used, you also are assured to be using the latest available maps, even if they were updated only, say, an hour ago, and haven't been incorporated into other app updates. The fact that maps are not included also is a big space saver, if that is a concern. You can probably get about the same results by running a combination of 2 or more GPS apps, for example, Look Around and Navigon or Tom-Tom, but that is not only more time consuming and cumbersome to set up, but is a bigger battery drain. Using the Seeing Eye app is the only app you need to run. Overall, I'd say that, after using GPS apps for over a year on an iPhone 5, If you can afford it, I would say that it is well worth the money. --- Be positive!

the map download screen of Navigon - Re: Seeing Eye GPS App, Worth It?
Because the subject matter has changed, I changed the subject line for accurate reflection. To get past the map download screen of Navigon, I go through and check the maps I want to download, then use the download all button in the bottom left corner of the screen after you have swiped past the last map listed. It takes quite a while to download all of the maps, but, eventually, it will have done so. I suggest using WiFi, as this will take a whole huge bunch of your cellular data if you do not. --- Be positive!

Re: the map download screen of Navigon - Re: Seeing Eye GPS App, Worth It?
What's nice about Navigon is that I can download the maps I only need at a given time. Therefore, I'm able to save GB space on the phone. Also, once a year the maps are upgraded for free. I don't need much more than that in my area. If I really want or need the full function of Sendero GPS, I'll use it on my BrailleNote Apex. I could be mistaken, but I haven't heard if the Seeing Eye-Sendero app has added the ability to create a manual route like in the Apex. I use My Way Lite to create a bread crumb route and it has worked quite well. JMO.

RE: Seeing Eye GPS App, Worth It?
Excellent. This was exactly the kind of feedback I was looking for. I don't mind plunking down the money but want to make sure it lives up to expectation. As far as I know, there is no means of trying out the app except for the month-long subscription, which albeit fairly priced is still money out of the wallet. Thanks guys. I'm especially intrigued that one need only run one app for orientation. One more question though, is it possible to drop a point of interest at a specific location similar to Ariadne, or is it necessary to tie the POI to a specific address? -- Twitter: @ScribblingJoe Visit my blog: http://joeorozco.com/blog From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Charles Rivard Sent: Sunday, September 28, 2014 3:55 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Seeing Eye GPS App, Worth It? It depends on what you consider as being cost efficient. I think that, by far, it is the absolute best GPS available for a blind traveler. It is the easiest to enter data into. Pros and cons: I have gotten updates to other GPS apps that broke their accessibility until another update fixed the issues. That will not happen with the Seeing Eye app, because it is specifically designed for blind users. The app is not self contained. By that, I mean that maps are not part of the app. You must have cellular coverage when traveling, because the maps are accessed using your data. That is both a plus and a minus, in that, while your data is used, you also are assured to be using the latest available maps, even if they were updated only, say, an hour ago, and haven't been incorporated into other app updates. The fact that maps are not included also is a big space saver, if that is a concern. You can probably get about the same results by running a combination of 2 or more GPS apps, for example, Look Around and Navigon or Tom-Tom, but that is not only more time consuming and cumbersome to set up, but is a bigger battery drain. Using the Seeing Eye app is the only app you need to run. Overall, I'd say that, after using GPS apps for over a year on an iPhone 5, If you can afford it, I would say that it is well worth the money. --- Be positive!

Excellent. This was exactly the kind of feedback I was looking for. I don't mind plunking down the money but want to make sure it lives up to expectation. As far as I know, there is no means of trying out the app except for the month-long subscription, which albeit fairly priced is still money out of the wallet. Thanks guys. I'm especially intrigued that one need only run one app for orientation. One more question though, is it possible to drop a point of interest at a specific location similar to Ariadne, or is it necessary to tie the POI to a specific address? -- Twitter: @ScribblingJoe Visit my blog: http://joeorozco.com/blog From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Charles Rivard Sent: Sunday, September 28, 2014 3:55 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Seeing Eye GPS App, Worth It? It depends on what you consider as being cost efficient. I think that, by far, it is the absolute best GPS available for a blind traveler. It is the easiest to enter data into. Pros and cons: I have gotten updates to other GPS apps that broke their accessibility until another update fixed the issues. That will not happen with the Seeing Eye app, because it is specifically designed for blind users. The app is not self contained. By that, I mean that maps are not part of the app. You must have cellular coverage when traveling, because the maps are accessed using your data. That is both a plus and a minus, in that, while your data is used, you also are assured to be using the latest available maps, even if they were updated only, say, an hour ago, and haven't been incorporated into other app updates. The fact that maps are not included also is a big space saver, if that is a concern.

I'm thinking that the originator of the thread is looking for an assessment of the Seeing App rather than what's mainly been given so far.

using common sense when using any GPS - Re: Seeing Eye GPS App, Worth it?
Regardless of which GPS app you choose, you should not follow the directions to the letter. Obviously, if there is a street running parallel to you, and the device says to turn right, you don't do it right then. You would turn at your next opportunity, such as at the end of the block or into the next driveway or something like that. A GPS is merely a navigation tool, and you should never rely on it totally. This is usually stated in the agreement or disclaimer when you first open the app. --- Be positive!

RE: Seeing Eye GPS App, Worth It?
Hi Kerri, The Seeing Eye app works just fine in Canada. If you are curious you could get a 1-month subscription for $9.99 and try it out. I have done so and I like it a lot, but I really am not using a GPS app enough to pay the 3-year subscription which is the best deal. If you want something with excellent announcements of when you are just walking along as well as an app which can give you turn by turn directions if you want to go to a particular place then the Seeing Eye app is probably the best solution by a good margin. If you don't need turn by turn directions that often and are OK with a little less detail about things like intersections, then Blindsquare works really well. Seeing Eye app will give you such detail as whether the intersection is a 3-way or 4-way intersection and so on, very similar to what the Trekker or MobileGeo was like.
