It might be worth noting for the rest of us that this app is only available in the US and Canada.

Glenn, I also use Nearby Explorer, and trust me when I say, I thought Navigon for I O S was the best it came. Once I saw what N E would do however, I was blown away! I agree that 99 bucks is quite steep, but I'm telling you: It is so! so! so so worth it!

Navigon for IOS is like 35 or 40 dollars. Thanks.

It stores the gps data maps, etc. on your device no wifi or cell signal required does take up 3GB of space though. So, make sure you have it first before purchasing. The app is $99 Thanks, Aaron Linson Indescribable Studios <http://blindpodcaster.com> Being Confident in your ability, not your disability On May 21, 2014, at 10:31 PM, David Blencowe <dehblencowe@xxxxxxxxx <mailto:dehblencowe@xxxxxxxxx>> wrote:Its designed to give drivers access to emails and messages while driving.

I just bought a used Galaxy S3 to play with, as I use an iPhone, but I need to know Android so I can teach my clients. I'm a counselor for the Blind, in Nebraska. I'm wondering which of the "Blindness Apps" are considered to be the best? I want to get a GPS app, but since I won't be putting cellular onto it, I need a GPS app that puts its maps onto the device, like Navigon. Is Navigon considered the best of those which you download the maps? On my iPhone I mostly use Ariadne GPS, but this won't work without cellular or WIFI. I will be connecting to WIFI for downloading things like apps and cloud stuff. Thanks for any thoughts.
