Nearby Explorer for iOS: Putting GPS to the Test (coolblindtech.com)

It sounds interesting but before spending that much I'd want to see a functional demo version. This would be awesome for my partner but it would mean buying an iPod touch or iPad mini in order to run it. He could use mine for a trial but there's no way to "try before you buy" unless I missed it.

Nearby Explorer has a free version (nearby explorer online) if you are on Android. But you must have a data connection to use it.
If your partner doesn't have a smartphone at all, if it is at all possible I strongly recommend it. There are so many life-improving apps for blind people on smartphones these days.

Could he try a cheaper GPS app like blindsquare, to see how GPS works for him? Personally, I'm happy with Blindsquare, and wouldn't even consider purchasing nearbuy explorer. It doesn't seem to offer any advantage over blindsquare that I can tell.
