Hi Raul, I thought BlindSquare uses data for it's maps. I don't recall ever downloading maps for BlindSquare and if it relies on data then it wouldn't work with an iPod Touch unless you had a Wi-Fi connection which normally is not the case when you are walking around. Using an external GPS receiver may give you a GPS signal, but BlindSquare, Sendero LookAround or Ariadne wouldn't know what to do with it unless they have access to maps.

It tends to work better if you are walking rather than moving in a vehicle like a bus or someone's car though. Yes, as far as I know, if you have an iPod Touch with a compatible GPS it can connect to, then it should work just fine. I have personally never tried this though. -- Raul A.
