I'll just toss out that whether you consider this an extreme premium is
a personal decision. It'll depend on each person's economic situation
and how much they're willing to pay for the convenience and features in
the Seeing Eye app. What one person might consider an extreme premium
another might consider a bargain, especially if independence and
personal safety is involved.

I get most of the same features from Apple Maps for free. I just need to put VO
on the appropriate field to monitor, and I need to manually move VO to the
information I wish. Finally, for that extreme premium, one is limited to only
the US, and maybe Canada. For the UK, you need to use a different app, with the
same premiums. Outside those places, there is no Sendero GPS app.

The advantage to an app like Seeing Eye is that you get many of the features
that blind people like in one app. You get turn by turn directions, but you
also get announcements of approaching intersections and POIs.

Subject: [SPAM]Question About Various GPS Apps for iPhone
I realize that this particular topic is so vast, due to the amount of
available GPS apps, that we could probably have a separate mailing list
just to discuss this one capability. I also realize that my questions
could generate a variety of opinions but that's OK.
So, here's the thing. I'm relatively new to the iPhone and started out
in the world of GPS with the built-in Maps app, which I can use and, for
the most part, which I like. I've also downloaded several free GPS apps
that I'm in the process of evaluating and learning. One of the things
that I really loved about Maps was that I could have it constantly speak
my current location, which I found beneficial while on the train going
to work. Given the capabilities of many of these free apps, are the
specialized, blindness-specific GPS apps worth paying for? What
benefits can we get with Seeing eye or Blindsquare?
