And I would not trust this app to alert me to drop offs. I cannot see any app that would convince me that I am safe to wwalk without a cane or dog.

Sure, I can find a gps tool to tell me what buildings are near me, and what streets are coming up, but only a guidedog can walk you through large puddles while managing to keep its own feet dry by pulling away from what you just walked through. And no, I'm nt complaining. Though it's annoying, I have to admire my dog's problem solving skills.

I know this message will quickly go off topic if not careful, so I will just mention that groups like PETA consider any animal that has been domesticated the same as a slave. It doesn't matter how well the creature is treated. I have a Seeing Eye dog, and I haven't found an app for my iPhone that would replace him. He seems quite happy and in fact eager to guide me where I need to go. Just my thoughts on the topic.
