I use Google Maps by itself. Google maps give me turn by turn directions and allows me to switch between pedestrian and driving. What are the plusses of using blind square, on top of what google maps offer? Just curious. Cris

I don't do routing much but you don't have to do that in blinsquare. You feed your starting and ending points into blindsquare and tell it you want to use google maps as your route-making source and blindsquare takes care of the rest and gives you turn-by-turn directions as you walk. -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of carol.pearso...@googlemail.com Sent: Friday, March 20, 2015 6:02 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Best GPS App? Hi, I'm new here and have very recently started to get to grips with Blind Square. I have never used more than one GPS system in tandom with another and, frankly, in some ways would rather not do so; but I am enjoying what I see with Blind Square so far but realise that I don't know anything much about Google Maps, except that I gathered you had to keep your finger on the scdreen and follow a route somehow. Perhaps someone who uses Google Maps with success could tell me exactly how you work out your turn by turn route with Google Maps. Again, I don't think I could manage to hold my phone and follow a route this way but perhaps it would be easy enough to see the route at least before I start. I did buy Navigan some while back but, again, haven't really got to grips with it. If anyone uses this as their other app along with Blind Square, please tell me how it all works out for you.

I used to think that Navigan is the best for guidance from point to point. However, I just realized that Google maps does a better job. I found out this when I needed to go to an address roughly two miles away from where I live. I could not find the address on Navigan Maps, but I found it right away on Google maps.

You might investigate BlindSquare. Personally, I think it is a good GPS app, but it does have its faults as does any app. I have both SeeingEYE GPS & BlindSquare. I'm interested to discover what other ListMembers chime in with on this discussion.
