George,
I'm sure not Charles, but my guess is that the other 2 apps you used, Navigon
and TomTom, take less battery because their maps are stored on the device,
whereas the Seeing Eye app needs to have server connection to work, and takes
more battery because of that. One of the things I'd really like to see would be
the ability to let us have map segments on our phones. I was just recently on a
trip which featured significant portions of time with little or no cell phone
connectivity. That's real easy to do here in Oregon. And thus the Seeing Eye
app was rendered useless, as were any other gps apps that rely on the data
connection.
I know that when APH came out with Nearby Explorer, which has maps on the
device, many people complained about that and wanted the option to not have to
go through the hassle of downloading maps and dealing with the storage issues.
So you can't please everybody. <smile> But I would at some point love it if we
could have a choice, perhaps if and when Seeing Eye can incorporate google maps
accessibly?
