I have not been out alone in months, however, before my husband passed I used Blind Square, had it when we were walking or on tandem bike, it is cool, you hear lots of stuff as you travel, found some places I'd never heard of before only blocks away from home. Will probably use it soon again.

The thing is, BlindSquare costs $30 and aside from that one bit of information, I would not use it for any actual traveling. Since I don't often go out and travel on my own, paying $30 for one feature in an app does not seem very worth it to me. If I need driving direction for my wife to use in the car, then I will most often use Google Maps.
