Hi.
I got some extra money for my birthday, so I decided to purchase the Seeing Eye GPS app. I signed up for a one year subscription. I was planning on going to the T-Mobile store to switch to their data plan, but just out of curiosity I decided to examine the Seeing Eye app. It prompted me to set my current location as home, and I was surprised to find it knew I was near Lexington, KY, and it got my zip code right. I then set up a route to my credit union which I'll head to in about an hour. The app correctly found the location I wanted, and it started telling me where to head. I'm happy. Looks like I don't need a data plan to use the app, as long as I have WI-FI access to download local maps. I know this is somewhat limiting my use of the app, but if all goes according to Hoyle I can wait until next month to get a data plan for my iPhone. I have a trip to take Paterson, the flying dog to the Vet, and I'll enter that route into the app and see just how much of Lexington is covered by the map I got downloaded. If it covers the Lexington, Kentucky area then that's good enough for me. I know it will cover the neighborhood, but I'm curious how it will do farther away. I'll keep all of you updated. I hope to report that it works via WI-FI connections, and as long as you're at a hot spot you don't have to use your data. Now back to baseball and waiting for the credit union to open. GO REDS!
