BlindSquare Question

By Joseph Westhouse, 2 October, 2015

Forum
iOS and iPadOS

I'm intrigued by the feature in BlindSquare that lets you simulate being at a different location, for purposes of planning routes and checking out what's around your destination. Is there any way of doing this with a distant location (i.e., one outside the maximum search radius)? My wife and I are going to be spending a few days in the city for her birthday and I was hoping to plan some surprises for her. I'd like to use BlindSquare to figure out what will be in our vicinity, plan some routes, etc. - but I can't search for our hotel because the app only shows POIs in my search radius. Is there any way to do what I'm trying to do? Any pointers are appreciated!

Figured it out

Okay, I answered my own question. Turns out I just needed to search the address, rather than the name of the hotel. Carry on!

Simulate multiple times

Just like you noticed: Search first with address, then simulate that location. Then search by name: Now BlindSquare makes search on simulated location. You can then simulate place you find and look for transportation, use look around etc.
