Well, It depends what GPS functions you're looking for: orientational, navigational, or both and what you're willing to spend.
If you're wanting both orientational and navigational gps, your choices are "Seeing Eye Gps", and "Nearby Explorer." In this writer's opinion, "Nearby Explorer is a much better option than Seeing Eye GPS; 1: It's much cheeper; 2: Updates to the program are much more frequent. 3: It is, in my opinion, a much more complete GPS system than Seeing-Eye GPS. If, on the otherhand, you're only interested in orientational GPS, by far, your best option is, again in my opinion, BlindSquare. It's been around now for some time and is a very mature product. It also supports the "What Three Words" service. Hope this helps. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Chip Orange Sent: Sunday, June 18, 2017 2:43 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: which GPS app should i buy? I agree with Mike, although I don't have a lot of experience with Seeing Eye; it's price alone of $300 is a great deal more than the $80 of Nearby Explorer. I believe the support for Seeing Eye may be better (in that you can pick up a phone and call someone, or email their support department), where-as Nearby Explorer's only support is a mailing list (nothing else). The lack of support is perhaps my only significant criticism offered for Nearby Explorer. If money is very important, you can try the $20 Blind Square ... not my favorite because the maps it uses for intersections are "free" ones created by volunteers, and so often quite incorrect, but it's price is the best.
