Seeing Eye GPS does not have direct phone support. They do for their other products, but not for this one. On the other hand, right now, it is $200, not $300, and they have just introduced a breadcrumb feature, which should make it extremely useful for people who need to navigate in areas such as college campuses or other large open spaces where streets are nonexistent or can be misleading. So for that alone, I think it deserves a serious look. That and it's interface is less cluttered also, of course it requires that you have a good cell connection, because maps are all online, whereas nearby makes you download Maps which take up a lot of space. Maybe not a big deal, depending on the size of your iPhone and how much storage you have left. They both have their strong points. Mary
