Personally, I don't care for Blind square's other voice, so I hope VoiceOver
will be the only voice with this app even if it's running in the background and
n the lock screen.

Can you lock the phone with Navigon or Tom Tom running? As that is the
answer I think if battery life is to be preserved. With Blind Square, you can
lock the screen and all the information is announced to you by another voice.
However, if Voice Over can do this then we're in with a chance to conserve our
batteries. If you also remember, if you have a guide dog or cane or anything
else in your hands etc then it's going to be difficult to touch the I phone
screen especially if it's in your bag, pocket or executive bag/brief case. For
me, if I had the product now, I'd want to be able to put my I phone in my bag
with the screen locked and for Voice Over to tell me where I am etc etc.
Thank you very much.

charles,
you know i tested other apps. so here is what i found out today with the
seeing eye app.
i had my phone a iPhone 4's, fully charged.
i started the seeing eye app at a bus stop by my house and went streight up
a highway for a 24 minute bus ride. when i got off the bus my battery level
was at 85 per cent.
now, doing the same with navigon or tomtom / u s a as it is listed on the
phone my battery has only went down to 96 or 95 per cent.
just wanted to give you that heads up.
