Hello. I have a few questions about GPS apps that probably, people might know a lot more answers than I do. So, to begin with, my parents have a stand-alone gps. Theirs will allow them to type in an address, and then give them directions to that specific address. It will also allow them to search for a place, such as McDonald's, or even if they can't type in the place they can look within, say, a 10-mile radius or whatever, and they can choose a category and then find the place they want to go to. The categories are very specific, for example, fast food, Italian, Mexican food, etc. I have a Trekker breeze, and I can type in an address if I know it, but the searches are very limited. For instance, I live around many restaurants, and it only gives me a few of them. Just restaurants. I can't search by category. What I want to kow is, is there an iPhone app that does what a stand-alone app does for sighted people? Is there one that allows you to search very specific categories, not just for food. And is there one that you can type in the address and it will give you very specific directions to get there? I have heard about lots and lots and lots of GPS apps, but none of them do everything I want them to. Are there any that are just as good with tiving directions as they are about finding points of interest? Are there any that are just as thorough in their points of interest as they are at giving directions? I feel like we're getting jipped as far as GPS apps go. I am considering buying the Seeing eye app but the ratings are either 5 stars or 1 star, you know, and I really want the purchase to be worth it. I am curious as to you guys' opinions on this GPS thing. I am writing this in a hurry so I am sorry for any errors or whatever, I just really wanted to ask while I was thinking about it. Thanks in advnce, and I'm hoping to find some answers from you guys.
