Can anyone recomend one of the "Where Am I " type of apps?-is there one that is most reliable, address-wise?. There are several to choose from in the App Store. The app "Where the Hell Am I" is reviewed here. I thoght I'd ask before giving it a try. Thanks!

Thanks, Ian for the recomendations. I have "Around Me", and it works fine. - I guess I'm being nitpicky and was looking for an app that primarily just had the address, but in a native big font-size. I think I need to look at some screenshots of some of these apps, too.

There is a good IOS app called 'iD' written like that, which has a 'Where am i' button, and an 'Around Me' button, where the latter allows you to find catagories of things at a configurable distance from your position.
Thee 'Where am I' button gives you a nice location address for you, and then other addresses near by , other local businesses, in an accessible list form.
The free version is very accessible.

This app called Where Am I has come in very handy for me. When you open it the app offers up a display with your exact address and other locational information. t’s fully compatible with VoiceOver and has the option to speak the current town name and other details. I also love that it pulls local landmark info from Wikipedia, which adds a lot of context when you're exploring new areas. Everything is fast, clean, and extremely easy to understand. The app even works with Apple Watch for quick updates on the go. I find its incredibly helpful for independent travel and staying oriented when navigating in unfamiliar places.
