Hi
Cearbhall,
Thank you for your reply.
Oh you live in Bray as well? Yes it would be lovely to meet for a chat some
time.
I have Blind Square on my phone but have never found out how to mark any location on it;
well, no, that's not true, I have marked a location but am not sure how I can make Blind
Square walk me back to it. So, for example, I marked my house some day, and whenever I am
close to it, it tells me with a ping that I am near, but I don't know how I would say to
it "Bring me to my address". I will have a loo into the other aps you mentioned
as well.
Best wishes
Mel.

Melanie,
Try an app called Moovit (note the two "oo"s!)
Blindsquare is very well known and also Ariadne GPS. Each of these allow you
to markr a favourite place and will bring you back to it within a few meters
if not exactly on the point.
They depend on satellites and so you have to experiment with them.
I also live in bray and you are welcome to come here and have a chat about
the possible solutions. My contact numbers are at the bottom of the message
below my signature.
All the best,
Cearbhall

Hi everyone,
I have been a member here for quite some time now but have never introduced
myself. Anyway, some of you probably know me already from the Ireland
Vibnews list. My name is Melanie Leamy, I am a complementary therapist,
originally German but have been living in Ireland for nine years (so feel
more Irish than German at this point). I live in Bray and work in Dun
Laoghaire.
My question tonight is this: My mum is coming over for a visit in July.
And, after I told her so much about the wonderful trips to County Clare that
my husband and I undertook when he was still well enough to do so between
2009 and 2016, she told me that she would love us to go on a similar trip
this year, in memory of my husband. I am really excited about this. I know
it will be sad in a way to visit all the beautiful places and it will bring
up a lot of memories, but I love Clare and the Aran Islands and know that it
will be good for me to go back. Anyway, this time we will have to use public
transport, whereas my husband and I used to drive everywhere. I have a good
idea of Doolin and surroundings and particularly Inismor and the whole
situation with the fairy and that. But the B&B I booked for us for one night
in Doolin I have never been to before. And so I was wondering: Is there a
way - or maybe even an iPhone ap - so that I can mark our location once we
leave the B&b and have a walk around so that, when we want to return to the
B&B, I can simply select the highlighted location and the ap will bring us
back to it? I know that somebody told me something about this before, but I
am not sure what exactly the person was saying. I know I can mark a location
in Google Maps, but that's not exactly what I want. I basically want
something that tells me: In order to reach your destination (name of place),
turn left here, right here, walk 200 ms, turn left..." etc.
Is there such an ap?
Best wishes to everyone
Mel.
