Hi,
Whatever your opinion, it was a good commercial <Smile>.
Seems silly to me though that basic features are missing, like not being able
to enter your own waypoints.
All the best
Steve

Hi.
BlindSquare 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 blind/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.
