The POIs were pretty much directly on my right side. I was walking on the
sidewalk, and their driveways were directly to the right of me. I
distinctly remember one instance where a restaurant should've been 44 feet
to my right but it said "Lookaround Poi...44 feet left". I was walking
extremely slowly with a sighted guide, so I'm not sure if it would've been
more accurate if I were moving faster.
