As a further example, when President Reagan left the White House, he
moved into a home here in Bel Air CA. His house number was 666. Because
that is the mark of the beast, he got the Postal Service to change the
number to 668, but the GPS systems used by taxis, etc. continued to
identify the property as 666.

Your observation on tom-tom versus Google does not equate with mine. I
found and find Google maps more accurate than tom-tom. Which I think
points to something that is often pointed out, results and maps vary
from place to place.

When the app was able to use the 3 different map sources, it was
interesting to compare them. I actually found the TomTom maps to provide
the most accurate address info, it would usually provide a particular
address such as 3522 main street. With google maps and open street maps,
the most it could provide was a range such as 3500 3599. I think google
maps is free where as the TomTom maps have to be licensed, is that why
the TomTom maps were removed?

Mike,

Using Google maps.

I believe Blsquare licenses a secondary voice. I didn't think you
could change the background Apple voice, which we use in our app.

Thanks for the suggestions. We are updating our wish list and will
add these items. We just need to get a sponsor to pay for the
update and then we will proceed with improvements.

Subject: [gps-talkusers] a question about the newest version of the

seeing eye app and a few suggestions

Hey everyone. I notice with the newest version of the seeing eye
app, there is no longer an option for what map source to use, just
was wondering which source the program is using now.
Now for my suggestions. I notice in the manual it says to not
really rely on the app features that run in the background, I
disagree. While walking, it's often difficult to access on screen
information, there are a few things that I would like to see added
to what is spoken when the program is running in the background.
First, when your direction changes, this should be spoken.
Also, on the screen, as you approach a street, the distance to that

street shows and decreases as you get closer. It would be very nice

to be able to have this spoken while the screen is locked rather
than to just announce the street itself when you are close to it.
Finally, there needs to be a way to adjust the speaking rate of the

voice that is used when running in the background.
The default rate is quite fast and it's easy to miss something,
blsquare is able to do this, so it is possible.

God grant me the serenity
To accept the things I cannot change;
Courage to change the things I can;
And wisdom to know the difference.

Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace; Taking, as He did, this
sinful world As it is, not as I would have it; Trusting that He will
make all things right If I surrender to His Will; So that I may be
reasonably happy in this life And supremely happy with Him Forever and
ever in the next life.

Amen."
