I don't care for Blind Square either, but am forced to use it until I have a
choice, as Navigon was another app that I could not get on with as I for one
can't stand having to open three or four GPS apps to get turn by turn or cross
streets as I can't get enough information with Blind Square, or with Ariadne or
anything else so I hope I'm not going to be disappointed with the Sendero App.
With my experience of GEO, then I hope I'm not going to be disappointed as I'm
disappointed with Blind Square.
