[nabs-l] GPS software for the IPHONE

[Greg Aikens]

Forgive me if I’m jumping in late on this thread and already missed the answer, but what do Seeing Eye GPS and Blind square offer that can’t be accomplished with a mainstream GPS app? I generally just use the apple maps and get walking directions and I used to use Navigon before apple included Maps in the IOS. These aren’t my favorite solutions but generally work. If there are features that make these apps better, what are they?

Thanks,
Greg
