[Electronics-talk] Fw: The Seeing Eye GPST app now for saleinthe iTunes Apple Store

Darla,

     I may be wrong but I believe the Seeing Eye ap replaces the lookaround
ap.  If anyone out there knows better don't worry about correcting me if I
am mistaken.  If that is the case that is a good thing.

Thank you, Tom; I hav3en't got a GPS application, though I do have
Look-Around; your review of the new GPS is very encouraging.

Hi,
I just bought the app with its subscription on Tuesday and have used it in
both vehicle and pedestrian modes.  In both cases, navigation was spot on. 
For the first offering of this app, it works very well, and if the track
record with this app is similar to that of Sendero for the BrailleNote
products, I would expect that each update will improve the product
significantly.

When I first tried the Seeing Eye app on my iPhone 4, responsiveness when
moving around the screens was very sluggish.  Clearing out the app switcher,
then powering down and restarting the phone helped tremendously.

Tom
