Hello Koby,
We sent this to the list about a week ago here it is again since you missed
it.
The following 9 improvements have been made to The Seeing Eye GPST version 1
in addition to a few technical changes under the hood.
1 You can now select 3 conditions for automatically hearing intersections
and POIs announced, based on 15 MPH or less, 40 MPH or less or announced no
matter the speed. The default is set for intersections at 40 MPH and for
POIs at 15 MPH. You can also turn off both of these Lookaround items.
2 When a route is active, the two most important pieces of information
are the distance and direction of the next turn and the distance and
direction to the final destination. This information is better organized and
is now at the top of both the Location screen and the Route screen. You have
the option to shake the phone to get these announcements as well. The Shake
feature has been improved so it won't activate as easily when not being held
in the hand.
3 An Auto Repeat function helps to ensure that you hear important
information automatically. This applies to the next turn and destination
information. As you get closer to your destination, the turning
announcements automatically repeat more frequently based on the same
parameters as the Getting Warmer function. This is every 15 seconds under
500 feet, every 30 seconds from 500 to 1,000 feet, every minute from 1,000
feet to 5 miles and every 5 minutes beyond 5 miles. The destination
information is also repeated under 1,000 feet. An On/Off selection is
available under the Settings Routing menu for auto repeat.
4 A vibration has been added to indicate turn now, and arrived at
destination. There is a Vibration On/Off selection on the Settings Routing
screen.
5 The POI Lookaround announcements are now tied to your POI content
source. The default is Foursquare, which used to apply only to searches. If
the default Foursquare POI content is chosen, this will apply to both POI
searches and to the Lookaround POIs you hear automatically announced. A
maximum of 3 Foursquare categories can be manually selected for POI
searches. The default is to have the All Categories button selected. Navteq
POI categories are a bit different from Foursquare and have not been
changed.
6 The POI search distance has been expanded from 50 miles to 200 miles.
You will be prompted to search further if no matching POIs are found within
50 miles and every 20 additional miles thereafter. In less populated areas,
the search may go up to 200 miles without prompting.
7 Improvements have been made in the handling of turning announcements
when the network is lost. The next turn and destination as well as the ETA
will update even when there is no phone service. It will not recalculate if
you go off-route but if you stay on the route, the information is nicely
updated.
8 OpenStreetMaps, or OSM, are now an option for Location Information and
creating of Routes.
9 Here are some small but helpful changes. Some wording changes have been
made to improve clarity and brevity. The Subscription button now identifies
the email account name. Distances to the route History items are now
relative to your current location and not just where you first created the
route. The items in the Settings Routing menu have been reordered. There is
a link to the updated version 1.1 Seeing Eye GPST manual from inside the
program. You can find it at User Guide

Try using Four Square, MapQuest doesn't license all the NavTeq POIs which
may be what you are seeing.
