[NABS-L] Blind square

[jameyanne at gmail.com]

I've used BlindSquare but I never quite got the hang of it. Nearby Explorer
sounds great, but is there a demo version? That's a lot of money and I'd
like to try it before I buy it.

Have you heard of Lazarillo Accessible GPS? It's FREE & Available on both
Mobile Platforms: Google's Android as well as Apple's iOS

I'm not saying it's better than BlindSquare or NearBy Explorer
