Maybe so. Curt has a Trek, so maybe there's a way to get them all working together. Either that, or we'll just go starkers!

Just a quick one, I’ve read that having Bluetooth and WiFi enabled or your device whilst using maps can vastly improve location services as the iPhone can communicate with local WiFi networks and Bluetooth beacons to more accurately find your position.

It will not work in every situation however you may find better results by leaving them switched on in control centre.

I'm not sure if you can do it with apps, but you can do it with the Victor Reader Trek.
You might be able to do it with Nearby Explorer or Seeing Eye GPS.

Subject: Re: Lazarillo or BlindSquare

and it begs a question here, because we both have Blind Square and like it. We live in a mobile home park, and it's absolutely crazy-making finding our way from point A to point Be in here. We wish to find an app that will allow us to drop bread crumbs so we know absolutely where we are at every given minute. It would be rather embarrassing to carry a cake to the wrong neighbor, or appear somewhere we should not, all ready to swim. The embarrassing scenario possibilities are endless. We've got lots of programs on our phones, Curt has his Trek, but we haven't yet found just the right thing. *sigh*(

Can you set up as a point of interest areas otherwise not found on the maps in any of the free apps? Such as a specific building on a university campus ?

For those who do not want to pay $39.99 for Blind Square, take a look at the free Lazarillo app. It does not have the depth of features that Blind Square has; but it is a good orientation app.
If you want a walking route, you can get that from within Lazarillo.
If you want a driving route, it can launch Google or Apple Maps I believe and run in the background to tell you about streets or Points Of Interest. I turn off explore mode when first launching or it continues to talk about places around you which interrupts hearing what you want in learning the app.

Always look out for #1, and be careful not to step in #2.
