Hi there! I found that Seeing Eye doesn't always give me enough information about the route I'm trying to do, or gives me a route to go the wrong way on a 1-way street, or to use that street at a location it doesn't go through. I just tried downloading Mapquest to see what routes are possible to go to a location where my ATM access would be free. I don't want to pay $4 at the other place I found. When I put in the address of where I want to go, and it makes up a route, I hit the list button so I can read all the directions. How do I get the other routes I can use? I tried their website, and I can't figure out how to get it to switch to walking directions, and highways just don't work when you're blind. I've always been shown routes I needed to know by whatever O&M instructor I had, but my VR counselor expects me to be able to take the bus anywhere it goes in town without the instructor's help. I can't seem to get the transit person to stay on the phone long enough and explain all the rest of the directions, as they want me to do, and holding up the bus once we arrive to try getting it from the driver is bad. Is there a better site or app I could use to figure out alternate routes, and to know exactly what streets I would be crossing when it says "Go 0.3 miles on Pine Street and turn left on Adams" if I don't already know them.
