[nagdu] [Fwd: Announcing the Seeing Eye GPS app free preview

Wed Feb 27 15:12:56 UTC 2013

Oh, I understood that. I was just saying what "Look Around" is, which is already there and already free. I paid $60 for Navigon, so I would probably pay that for this; probably not much more than that though. When I considered what I paid for their other that goes with the notetaker, I am amazed I say that, but I don't see how they could charge more than that.

On their model that only does that, that's what it does; then it tells you distance to the nearest ones, depending on the category. It is free and that is all you can do with it, except you can get phone numbers. I'm anxious to see this and see how it works. Fisher and I are waiting for a new flight now since ours was canceled.

I went to the site yesterday afternoon and they have already gotten 300 people signed up, which was way more than they needed.  I hope it isn't long before the full version comes out.  and I seriously hope this ap isn't crazy expensive.
