It depends on what kind of detail you want. Blind Square will give you the streets you are crossing and direction you are heading without having to know the route the driver is using. I would set Blind Square to just streets. If you know what gps the driver is using and what route you could try to match that with Google Maps or Mapquest and still have Blind Square announcing streets. You could use Apple Maps, though I've not gotten it set up to speak street names, but I know others have. I probably could if I took the time to mess with it. Or, you could use Seeing Eye GPS, which speaks the streets as you come to them and you can also set up turn by turn directions, but it is the more expensive option. But, I would never say one way is the best as that depends on personal preference. HTH, Richard
