[nabs-l] A quick hello to everyone and recommendations forGPS apps.

[Arielle Silverman]

Yes. I highly recommend Seeing Eye and like it a lot better than Blind
Square. The main screen is very easy to navigate and the voice is easy
to control unlike BlindSquare which has a voice separate from
VoiceOver. Seeing Eye provides location info, lets you get routes to
an address or point of interest, and it also has a map so sighted
users can navigate along with you.
