Hi all!
I recently bought a gps app made by the seeing eye on my Iphone. I bought the 1 month subscription.
The thing is I've never used a gps before and I would love some tips. Especially if you have this on your phone.
Or, if anyone recommends a better gps. I'm all ears! Thanks so much!

I'm not blind but my friend got a thing called a trekker, it's expensive but it's really good from what I've heard, very accurate and very reliable.

As a driver, I hope this helps a bit (I don't know if it will or not) but when you're navigating streets the most important thing to know is 1) what direction you're headed, 2) what the next street is and 3) a planned route to your destination. Obviously a map cannot be used in your situation but what I find more useful honestly is finding the "main path" that you'll be going when traveling, then learning the other roads you need to go on. Study the path you need to take before you go. Another useful thing would be a mile tracker to see how long you've traveled. You may think that as a driver you can use certain landmarks, and while this helps if you know the path, it doesn't help much if you don't know. Also, feel free to ask people because everyone sometimes gets lost and most people are very helpful!

Anyways, not sure how much that helps, but yeah.
