[nabs-l] Recommended apps for the I-phone

[Chris Nusbaum]

Dave,

	Isn't that what Sendero LookAround does? I have never heard of Blind
Square, and am interested as to how it compares with Sendero and the full
GPS app.

Blindsquare tells you what points of interest are around you, and where you
are, street and intersection.  It does not give turn by turn directions
either, but I have found it to be useful, and in most instances suits me
well over a full-fledged GPS app.  It is quite accessible, and I am told the
developer is quite responsive.
