Hi David and all.

Thanks for the info re Navigator and Ireland.  Very interesting since, as you 
say, there is no reference on the web page to Ireland.

I would be curious to hear comments from anyone using Navigator, or for that 
matter, other GPS apps.  As well as hearing your pros and cons as regards the 
different GPS apps, It has always seemed to me that someone with a white cane 
or guide dog is something of a sitting duck for a mugger when waving a smart 
phone around or struggling to hear the information.  Do you use Bluetooth 
earpieces in conjunction with the phone, and if so, how user-friendly is the 
experience?  

I look forward to any comments

Hi all,

Just to let you know that the new GPS app from Sendero Group for the iPhone, 
called RNIB Navigator, is available and works here in Ireland too. It is free 
to download but requires a monthly subscription of €4.49 to use.
The app description only mentions the UK for some reason, but I can confirm it 
does work here too. I haven't played around with it a lot as yet, but it seems 
pretty good from my early impressions. I'll probably record a demo in the next 
week or so.

Happy navigating.
