[Nfbktad] Nearby Explorer App from A P H

[slery]

While I have not used it personally, it is a big hit on the android list especially since there is both a free and paid version.

I would like more information. If anyone has used this app and the Seeing Eye GPS app, please give your impressions. I have used Seeing Eye during the trial period but have not bought it.

APH announces a new platform for the most powerful, most accessible, and best value GPS app in history -- Nearby Explorer for iOS®! Nearby Explorer continues to be available for Android devices. Now iOS users can access this full-featured GPS app designed for use by people who are blind. Instead of just providing directions, Nearby Explorer describes your environment in ways comparable to reading signage or observing road characteristics.

Nearby Explorer uses onboard maps, so a data connection is not required, but if you have one, Nearby Explorer supplements the on board map data with crowd-collected locations from Foursquare or Google Places. It includes complete maps for the United States and Canada which contain millions of points of interest. The onboard maps are over 4GB in size, so check that the iOS device you plan to use has enough available space before purchasing.

Get Nearby Explorer in the App Store for $79.99. Http://apple.co/2byOGpx This app is available for cash purchase now and it will be available with Quota Funds soon! Learn more about this life-enhancing navigation aid at http://tech.aph.org/ne/
