Yeah, but you can use your carrier for such data, can't you? All appeared
to work OK for me on a short walk today with Cellular turned on for the app
itself.
Its simplicity makes it attractive but I'll havge to weigh up if it's really
going to be worth paying a year's subscription.
That's why I'm interested to learn if later phones are experiencing the same
battery lag. If, as Steve suggests, nothing has been built in to stop the
constant need for battery then I guess everyone will be in the same boat ...

Hi Carol.
RNIB Navigator needs a constant connection to the internet to work, as it tracks your route and gives you live information about your surroundings. No maps are stored on the device, it pulls all mapping information directly from their end.
All the best, Ibrahim.

So isn't it going to work for me without the internet connection? When does
it require it?

Hi John.
Like all apps that use location based services continuously in the background such as navigation and orientation aids, the battery on your iPhone will be consumed more rapidly than given normal use. The RNIB Navigator not only requires the use of location services but also requires an internet connection, so it is recommended that you purchase an external battery pack from the likes of Anker or a form fitting battery backup case for your phone to extend battery life.
All the best, Ibrahim.

Hi Carol.
The app is essentially the same, same layout etc. I haven't created a custom POI yet but will do so today when I travel to work in the morning and try to bookmark the bus stop nearest the RNIB, currently St Pancras International.
All the best, Ibrahim.

Hi all,
I notice there's a new version of the above from Sendero and that you can now save POIs. This makes it more attractive, so I may think about giving it another go.
Has anyone upgraded yet and, if so, what differences have you noticed?
