Hello Joanne,
Just a small correction for people who might be interested in BlindSquare. It is indeed a navigation app and is listed in the Navigation category in the app store. You can also check in to ForeSquare locations and it uses ForeSquare locations, but it is primarily designed to announce upcoming cross streets, user defined points and points of interest if you enable this. You can also find a place and enable "Tracking" which updates you on direction and distance to the place and you can launch Navigon, TomTom, Apple Maps and I think in the latest version Google Maps if you have it installed from BlindSquare with the "Plan a Route" feature and then the point of interest you selected will be passed on to the turn-by-turn app you choose as the destination. There are a couple of good Podcasts on www.applevis.com.

Hi, my understanding of blindsquare is the alternative of 4square, which is what i'm using, with more information and enhance accessibility features. However, both 4square and blindsquare will be consider as social network, enabling you and your friends to check in and check out certain places, but not as nevigation or such. For nevigation purposes, maybe you might want to checkout nevigation apps for the point of interest rather than relying on blindsquare/4square. Another good app to try is Whats around, and around me. you might have a better POI using those apps. good luck The flip side of Inclusion is Exclusion.Joanne Chua Leaders For Tomorrow 2013 Candidate Send from my iPad -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group.
