So, how does this stand up with comparison to Nearby Explorer, aside from the 
obvious, that it's cheaper, I'm sure.  Just am curious.

  Hi everyone,

   

   

  IDEAL (makers of a few accessibility apps including their barcode reader, mp3 
player and reader) have released a new app today called GuideDroid (currently 
called GuideDroid Beta v1.0). It lets you input an address and it then uses 
Google maps to look up directions to their from your current location.  You can 
save locations as favourites and also revisit recent locations.
