[NAGDU] Using an accessible GPS while working your guide dog

[terrie arnold]

Well first of all Blind Square is cheaper then Seeing Eye I think the CrossFit now, is $39-$35 and it is a one time cost, where Seeing Eye GPS app cost to 70 bucks per year and there's an discussions on the blinds where add as to the perry find square and Seeing Eye GPS
Blind scare blind square works with foursquare as to various locations around to businesses mapping and as far as napping goes, you can use Google maps, Apple Maps or pay for a GPS app such as tom-tom are there are there are several out there but it's a one time cost as well to use so bad but using BlindSquare asked navigating is very easy and we can use a wireless Bluetooth earbud to listen to your directions I personally use a Bose earbuds and just goes in one ear so you get your ears free to listen to traffic around you so good luck and find having a GPS and use with the guy got very very helpful so have a wonderful day

My thoughts for today

I  am interested in accessible GPS I Phone apps and incorporating their use into  my travels with my guide dog. I've heard about  Blind Square and  The Seeing Eye GPS app.   Are there others any of you use and like? Suggestions on preference and why would be much appreciated. Also, experiences using a GPS app while  out walking with/traveling with  your dog  would be great, as well.  I can't find many articles talking about people's first person experiences with such apps and that's what I'm interested in. I want using the apps to enhance my travels with my dog and to help  if I become disoriented on a route or so I can explore  more confidently.  I don't want using such an app to distract me from info my dog is  giving me or from my focus on her  and our work together.  Are any of the guide dog schools   incorporating  GPS app use into
> training or   giving suggestions to  graduates about using one while working a guide dog? Any thoughts  or experiences  are welcomed and appreciated as I believe very strongly in that knowledge is power idea.  I live in the US and  do not have useable vision. Thanks in advance.
