Just to offer a balanced perspective, I detest Nearby Explorer. I don’t regret the purchase. I was happy to support the project, but as an app, the Nearby Explorer is cluttered, not at all intuitive, more complicated than it needs to be for turn by turn directions, and the accuracy is hit or miss. I’ll write a more detailed blog post about it, but I would think twice before plunking down eighty dollars. I think between BlindSquare and Google Maps and/or Apple Maps, you’re going to be getting better results for a whole lot less money.

It's a bit expensive, but I honestly don't regret buying it. It certainly helps out with unfamiliar areas. I've used it once or twice during a time like that. It's very handy, despite the price. Oh yeah, it does rquire at least 4 gigs of your device space to work properly when downloading the maps and the like.
