Blindsquare questions.

As far as I know blindssquare at least for me does not use that much data. Only if I have it looking around or anouncing streat names. It has for me over the corse of 3 months only used 7 mb of data.

Hello David,

I think it doesn't help you much to ask people how much cellular data BlindSquare has used on their device, because this value much depends on how often and how BlindSquare is used.

Here is what the <a href="http://blindsquare.com/instructions/#saving-battery">instructions</a&gt; say:
<blockquote>In some situations, i.e. if you are traveling abroad or have only a limited data plan, it may be necessary that BlindSquare use as little data as possible. If you are in an area that has good Foursquare and Open Street Map coverage, each Foursquare query will take about 32 kb and each Open Street Map query about 4 kb.
The faster you move, i.e. when you are in a vehicle, BlindSquare will send more queries to the server.
If you do a category search in BlindSquare, it will take between 10 and 40 kb. Assuming 20 Foursquare queries and 30 Open Street Map queries an hour, you can expect BlindSquare to use about one megabyte per hour. This estimate is true for routes that contain vehicle rides, too.
If you need to save data, you can activate the filter Streets and My Places. This will cause BlindSquare to announce street intersections and places you have either saved in My Places or marked as a favorite only.</blockquote>

If you use Navigon along with BlindSquare, this will not have any bearing on how much data BlindSquare uses, because both apps operate independently of each other.

I hope this helps.

Purchase BlindSquare and use it in conjunction with Google Maps or Apple Maps. I'm sure there are lots of Navigon fans out there, but I have had that app for three years now, and it has never once correctly led me to my destination. Just my opinion.

Actually you can purchase waze as well. I use waze, a free app, and navigon which works all the time for me here, and it uses offline maps. Both are very good at what they do, gps.

Actually you can just choose to dl the maps of the states you want so its only about 400 mb for me. and I use a cane and a bus. It does give me turn by turn directions and works grate. Also waze does the same thing. Have not yet used google maps but I have it. I also have some podcasts using blidn square . here is the first demo the second demo where I travle is here. and the third demo where I don't say anything but present a real use case is here.

If you switch to padestrian mode you will get the walking directions in navigon. for your country you can just download the state. I can't imagine lundon would be 10 gigs. Lol. This in combination with blind square woudl be a useful tool.

The phoen getting warm never happened to me at all in the 2 months I've been using it. If your phoen is older, the processer might be dying and it might be time for a new phone. I use blind square on the bus to know where I am at all times in case there's an emergency, and it's helped in that regard a few times especially if my driver is lost

You might want to contact the blind square folks. maybe they are some how over clocking your processer and such.
