Hi I will write a full review of the speaker in my usual way when I get it, which should be later this week. I'm going away for a few days but when I do get back, I will let everyone know what to think of it. It promises to be a very useful accessory, especially for those of us who navigate a lot with our phones.

It will tell you as it's audable. There are 3 buttons which can be used for music play back and you can use basic functionality like skipping tracks. The middle button works as the menu for BlindSquare and the button which is towards you is the one which gives your current location. That's if you are wearing the band on your left wrist.

I said, for whatever reason BlindSquare just does not work for me, I can't get used to the app. I'm definitely going to try though, it sounds like it could be a very useful supplemental aid.

I've tried both and BlSquare is the app for me. I've saved so many locations which have helped me and I've found that I don't really have to utilise a third party navigation app like Apple Maps or Google Maps allot of the time. This app is every bit as good as the Trekker and is allot sharper. It's also helpful to get telephone numbers for all the POIs as one can call and enquire about any of them. I like the new feature where I can use BlSquare with my Bluetooth Speaker wrist band. I can get my location by pressing one button and BlSquare keeps me updated anyway. The wrist band speaker has meant that I can keep my phone in my pocket and this is a good thing as it's not exposed for opportunists. Just because we are VI doesn't mean we won't get mugged.

BlSquare with extras? An interesting way of putting it. I use the RNIB Navigator app for three reasons. Firstly, if you purchase a three year subscription it works out at about £30 a year, not at all unreasonable given the specialist nature of the app. Secondly, everything is under one roof, all the tools you need to navigate successfully, safely and reliably. I have spent some years using the free/multi App approach and although it has its benefits, I preferred the simplicity of it all in one. Finally, if we are to seriously encourage developers to consider GPS as a serious tool for bl/partially sighted users, it is worth investing in the tools and giving developers the confidence to realise that there is a market for blind users. I'm confident that apps like RNIB Navigator will only get better with time however we need to ensure that we tell developers how much we appreciate the work that they do by buying the product so that they have encouragement to develop it fur ther. I don't mean to sound sanctimonious, this is just my opinion.

I am looking for a GPS satnav app for my iPhone for a Geocaching event I am taking part in. Although it's initially for this, I want one that will be more broadly useable in the future for general travel. The obvious app that springs to mind is TomTom, but are there any others better suited to the totally blind and the iPhone with voiceover?
