Hello all, I find that the Seeing Eye GPS works much better than the NearBy Explorer app. I also find that the interface is much cleaner on the Seeing Eye GPS application. The way that you have to add/search for addresses in the NearBy app is not that intuitive. I also find that the NearBy Explorer app doesn’t work well whilst in a car. The Seeing Eye GPS app blows it out of the water with it’s accuracy all around. I also have used both apps at the same time and The Seeing Eyes POI’s are far better than NearBy Explorer. Much more accurate. and I understand that everyone has a difference of what they like for interfaces, and what they see as being more accurate. This is just what I have experienced with the two apps.
I hop this helps, and remember it’s just what I prefer.
