Thatonewas all the rage about 4 or 5 years ago, but just as Blindsquare it will not give turn by turn directions unless it was updated to include this functionality. If, however, it was it would have probably been mentioned n the list and I have not seen Ariadne getting mentioned in a long time.

I just downloaded a GPS app called "airidne" Has anyone had experience with this one? I was told it will do step by step but I haven't sceen where it does that. It was $5.99 so inexpensive to try. I am a big fan of Blind Square. Teresa☺ On 6/19/17, Wayne Merritt <[email protected]> wrote: > I would second, or third, the votes for BlindSquare.

Abraham Lincoln once observed, “You may fool all the people some of the time; you can even fool some of the people all the time; but you can’t fool all of the people all the time.” Regardless of how cleverly you package yourself, others will eventually see through your masquerade and recognize you for what you really are. As a general rule, people will accept you for what you say you are until you prove yourself to be otherwise. Don’t take advantage of the goodwill of others. Make friends, not enemies.
