Hi Grant, Cara, and others, Do you suppose that it uses the location tracking to help identify where you are? The other day, I was sitting in a car, in a parking lot of a store. I took a picture out the window, and tap tap see came back with "Big Lots Parking lot". Big lot's is the name of the store. I was thinking that it may have seen the big lots sign or logo. But after reading this, maybe it uses the location tracking information, seeing that I was at Big Lots.
So, would we lose some of it's functionality by turning off location tracking? Side note... Cara, you've been too quiet, I miss seeing your posts and smiles.

One thing I would do right away is switch off location services for the app; I don't believe there's any advantage to you to leave them on. Actually, this is the case for a number of apps, including VizWiz. There's no tangible benefit to you to have location services on and in fact it probably has a small impact on battery life.
