What was that GpS drive thing you recommended?

I looked on the app store and couldn't find it.  

I probably have the wrong name.

we want to keep the app totally free, but there are quite high costs in
paying dozens of people each day to tag the images so if we don't raise
enough money, we might not be able to keep TapTapSee alive which would
be a shame so donations to this particular $20 incentive of our other
project we have on KickStarter will be critical for us as half the money
will go to directly support TapTapSee (I would do the entire money but
since the KickStarter campaign is for a different app, I'm not allowed
to do so)

TapTapSee stay alive and thrive to our KickStarter campaign:
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/dominikmazur/camfind-a-mobile-visual
-search-app and select the $20 incentive where half the donation will go
to sponsor TapTapSee or maybe you will be kind enough to donate
yourself.

hundreds of dollars per day (in order to pay sighted people to help tag

TapTapSee and uses it and would like it to survive in the future.

>> There are no accessable scanning apps for blind people that I know
of. The best GPS app is called GPS Drive. There are no good bar coad
reading apps that I know of. I also don't know of a good color app. I do
know of a good object identafier app called Tap Tap See which if you
take a picture, it tells you what you got for a picture. The object of
this app is to help you find objects around the house or while you are
in a place that doesn't allow you to explore in other ways besides site.
