Hi Esther Wow, thanks for that. I shall try it after I check that it's available in Australia. :)
Take care Paula -----Original Message----- From: mac-access-boun...@mac-access.net [mailto:mac-access-boun...@mac-access.net] On Behalf Of Esther Sent: Saturday, 24 March 2012 8:27 AM To: Mac OSX & iOS Accessibility Subject: Re: get off now or replacement app Hello Michael and Paula, If either of you has Ariadne GPS, you might consider using the recently updated capabilities of that app to set alarms for bus stops. There was a recent post on another list on this subject: <begin quote> I really like Ariadne and use it everyday to make sure I don't miss my bus stop. The bus rout has a very long straight section with minimal clues along the way to tell me where on the route I am. Ariadne is perfect in this situation, i pull it out when I know I am getting close and the app will have the POI which I set near my bus stop on the front screen of the app. All I need to do is put VO focus on the distance and Ariadne will count down the distance to the bus stop for me. It will also play an alarm when I am a certain distance from the stop. <end quote> HTH.
