Hi Richard,
Is Blind Squaire Event basically the same app as Blind Square just free
until November? A trial for those that don’t have the app?
I was wondering if it was different as I have not mastered using it for
following routes for exploration or for hiking purposes.
Also wondering if it is integrating Navilens or they are still separate apps.
