Eleanore, how do I accomplish this? I am using whatever it comes up with,
which does appear to be good in my remote area. just wondering in case I
need to double check anything.

you can use blind Square in association with Google maps or in association
with Apple maps.

I recently purchased Blind Square and am very disappointed. It uses "open

area. When I wrote to them asking for some way to have a feature where we
could offer map data corrections, or to ask if they could use Google Map
data, they told me they only updated their map data once a year, so giving
us a feature to offer map data corrections would still leave us with map
problems for a long time, so wasn't worth it.
They were unapologetic and unconcerned about the quality of the map data
as far as I could tell.
Blind Square, as far as this newbie can tell, does not offer you
directions either; it relies on your use of Apple maps or Google maps.
So I also have to wonder what exactly I am getting besides street names
which are wrong or missing, and no way to correct them, and map updates
only once a year??? Really??? I had just assumed they would always be
using the most up to date data just like Google maps, so this was a huge
disappointment to me.

Subject: Blindsquare and Google Maps
Hi All,
I have mostly been using Google Maps to get walking directions.
Can anyone tell me what advantages I would gain if I purchase Blindsquare
to use in conjunction with Google Maps as opposed to using Google Maps by
itself? I know Blindsquare has been discussed quite a lot on the list,
but I am having trouble figuring out what I would gain by using it along
with Google Maps or Apple Maps. Sorry if I am just being dense.
We will be traveling to the U.K. soon, and we are not at all familiar with
the areas we will be visiting, so I am trying to decide if it might be
worth purchasing this app.
Thanks for any thoughts on this.
Pam
