Well said, Richard, I agree that the Seeing Eye app is very good especially now that you can add your own custom points of interest. It provides the most information and as far as I know is still the only app which gives you intersection details like "4-way" or "3-way" along with the directions the streets run. However, I think Apple Maps has evolved nicely as well and if you do want a route and use Apple Maps and turn on "Tracking with Headings" it also automatically reads out cross-streets and it works quite well. One thing I like although this isn't strictly Apple Maps and you can use this with any other GPS app running is the fact that if I want to know where I am right now I can just press the SIRI button on my headset and ask SIRI "What is my current location" and it will answer with the address where you are at either an exact address or a range of house numbers, but it still is very useful. If somebody has the funds then I think having Blindsquare and the Seeing-Eye app is ideal and of course Apple Maps is already there on the phone and one can download Google Maps as it is a free app. You can also always start with Apple Maps to see h ow well it meets your needs and also download Google Maps to compare and then think of buying apps like Blindsquare and the Seeing-Eye app.

It is truly a matter of preference, and travel style, etc. Some would say that Sendero's Seeing Eye GPS is the best, and it is pretty amazing, but it also costs the most. You can subscribe for roughly $70 per year, or $130 for three years, or buy it once under the name Seeing Eye GPS XT, for $300. Then, there are the free Google Maps or MapQuest, or the built-in Apple Maps. Those are all turn-by-turn GPS apps. If you mainly want something to identify streets and points of interest for orientation, Blind Square is very good. Or Ariadne GPS, and quite a few more. Perhaps if you said a little more what kind of travel help you want, it would be easier to narrow down some suggestions.
