Re: An Excellent GPS app for iPhone and visually impaired people
The way in which you can use a GPS with iPod is to get it connected to a wireless hotspot or Mifi. In that way, you are always connected and you will get network so the GPS can work. The same is true for those who have Wifi iPad. Cheers! SALUDOS, DANIELA R.T. MACNETICOS, APPLE Y ACCESIBILIDAD A TU ALCANCE.

GPS on an iPod Touch {was Re: An Excellent GPS app for iPhone and visually impaired people]
Hi Lovette and Others, You can use GPS apps with an iPod Touch or WiFi-only iPad by purchasing a compatible Bluetooth GPS receiver and pairing it through Bluetooth with your iOS device. This will let you use GPS apps that you purchase and download onto your iPod Touch. Apple approved GPS devices that work with the iPod Touch or iPad are typically about $100 from Amazon in the US (equivalent to about £64), but seem more expensive in the Amazon UK listings due to VAT and other factors. They include: • Dual Electronics XGPS150A Universal Bluetooth GPS Receiver for iPad 3, iPad 2, iPad, iPod touch, iPhone and Other Smartphones, Tablets and Laptops Now with 12-28V adapter for cars, boats and airplanes! (This used to be the Dual Electronics XGPS150 model) • Bad Elf GPS Receiver for iPod touch, iPhone, iPad (3rd generation), iPad 2, and iPad (66-channel, SBAS/WAAS, 10 Hz) • GNS 5870 MFi Bluetooth Receiver for iPhone/iPad/iPod These are small devices that require separate power, and are rated for about 8 hours of use. The Dual Electronics XGPS150 or XGPS150A is about 2 inches on a side and can be worn on an armband. The Bad Elf GPS Receiver is about the size of a slightly long docking extender that plugs into the dock of the iPod Touch. The GNS 5870 MFi Receiver is a credit card-sized separate receiver. They can also all be used with an iPhone to boost the accuracy of GPS reception. In the first two cases there is a free app that lets you determine the efficiency and accuracy of the GPS reception by telling you how many satellites are being used to pinpoint your position and the strength of the lock. I think that only Dual Electronics made their free app accessible in response to feedback from visually impaired users. There are a couple of extra considerations for using these devices with GPS apps: • A very few apps, including the Sendero GPS Lookaround app, are written so that they will only work with the iPhone. The app developer can check your iOS device and operating system version, and disable functionality. Even though I can run every other GPS app such as Navigon, MotionX GPS Drive, Mapquest 4 Mobile, Ariadne GPS, HopStop, etc. on an iPad with 3G+Wi-Fi (or the later model 4G+Wi-Fi iPad), and those iPads have built-in GPS reception, Sendero has always blocked the operation of its app with non-iPhone devices. So you will not be able to use the Sendero app with your iPod Touch, even with a GPS Bluetooth receiver. • Some GPS apps require an active internet connection to work, because the map database they use isn't stored on your device. These include helper apps like AroundMe and Where To?, and any GPS apps like Ariadne GPS, the default Maps app, and Mapquest 4 Mobile (a US only app) that requires an internet connection for map data. Daniela was referring to this last point when she mentioned as a solution getting a MiFi or other personal wireless hotspot to provide you with wireless internet connectivity wherever you are. Arthur, the name MiFi is the brand name for the portable wireless hotspot device that Verizon makes and popularized. Many cell phone providers will sell or rent such devices and provide services for a monthly fee. I use a ClearSpot for about $30/month to provide 4G coverage for my laptop and other iOS devices. This gives me faster connection speeds than a 3G connection, supports up to 8 connected devices for 5 hours on a full charge, lets me use the minimum data plan on my iPhone, and provides internet connections for my laptop if I travel to other locations in the U.S. with Clear 4G coverage. (In the U.S. tethering a laptop or other device to an iPhone requires an additional monthly fee from my carrier, would be capped at 2GB/month, and would be considerably slower.) Getting back to Lovette's original question, getting a Bluetooth GPS receiver and using GPS apps that either come with a full downloaded set of maps, like Navigon or TomTom, or which allow you to download the maps that you'll need before you travel, while you're on a Wi-Fi connection, like MotionX GPS Drive (U.S. only), does let you use your iPod Touch with GPS navigation apps. I can imagine someone in the U.S. buying a Dual Electronics XGPS150A for $100, then getting MotionX GPS Drive for $0.99 plus paying for 1 year of voice-assisted guidance for $9.99, and finding this a good solution for their iPod Touch. Or alternatively, buying one of the Navigon regional apps for the U.S. (currently $29.99, but has been on sale for half this price), and getting a complete set of maps locally on their iPod Touch. I'm not familiar with the options in the U.K., so someone else will have to chime in here. Dual Electronics is a U.S.-based firm that does sell internationally. Bad Elf and the GNS 5870 MFi are European firms. Here's a link to an iLounge review of the Dual Electronics XGPS150:

Re: GPS on an iPod Touch {was Re: An Excellent GPS app for iPhone and visually impaired people]
Hi Lovette, If you live in Canada, then you can get the Dual Electronics XGPS150A. I'm not sure why the price is so high in Canada's Amazon store ($155 vs $100 in the U.S. store), even with the slight difference in the dollar conversion. Here's are some links to other Canadian web sites that carry this model for $99.95 + shipping: http://www.gpscentral.ca/products/dual-xgps150A-bluetooth-gps-receiver.html http://www.gpscity.ca/dual-xgps150-universal-bluetooth-gps-receiver.html Dual Electronics posted a long list of the iPhone GPS apps that it demoed to work with its device. MotionX GPS Drive also works for Canada (U.S. and Canada only). If you decide to get a GPS receiver, I would try this out first by buying the app for $0.99 which includes one month of voice-assisted guidance, because you have to be sure that you can download the maps. Navigon Canada is currently $49.99, but has been as low as $29.99 in the past. And Navigon North America (both U.S. and Canada) has occasionally been on sale for less than the price of Navigon Canada (as low as $29.99). These apps would have complete maps. The main issue with MotionX GPS Drive on an iPod Touch (or any instance where you want to download a map), is that you have to pre-plan routes while you're on an internet connection if you don't have a personal WiFi device. If you deviate from the route, so that you are outside of the area of the downloaded map, then the app will try to rely on an internet connection to get the additional data. The other thing you might be able to do is get an older iPhone 3GS that is no longer used with a data plan. A number of users may have upgraded their iPhones, and fulfilled their contracts. In the U.S. ATT and other carriers are offering existing customers an 8GB iPhone 3GS for $9.99 with 2 year contract. (It's the contract that costs the money, of course!). If you get an iPhone 3GS plus a pay-as-you-go data plan, you could put any GPS apps you want on the device, and still use VoiceOver. That could be even more cost effective for you in the long run than getting a GPS Bluetooth Receiver. HTH. Cheers, Esther On Jun 20, 2012, at 6:16 AM, Lovette Yewchan wrote: wow thanks.

Hi Lovette,
If you live in Canada, then you can get the Dual Electronics XGPS150A. I'm
not sure why the price is so high in Canada's Amazon store ($155 vs $100 in
the U.S. store), even with the slight difference in the dollar conversion.
Here's are some links to other Canadian web sites that carry this model for
$99.95 + shipping:
http://www.gpscentral.ca/products/dual-xgps150A-bluetooth-gps-receiver.html
http://www.gpscity.ca/dual-xgps150-universal-bluetooth-gps-receiver.html
Dual Electronics posted a long list of the iPhone GPS apps that it demoed to
work with its device.
MotionX GPS Drive also works for Canada (U.S. and Canada only). If you
decide to get a GPS receiver, I would try this out first by buying the app
for $0.99 which includes one month of voice-assisted guidance, because you
have to be sure that you can download the maps. Navigon Canada is currently
$49.99, but has been as low as $29.99 in the past. And Navigon North
America (both U.S. and Canada) has occasionally been on sale for less than
the price of Navigon Canada (as low as $29.99). These apps would have
complete maps.
The main issue with MotionX GPS Drive on an iPod Touch (or any instance
where you want to download a map), is that you have to pre-plan routes while
you're on an internet connection if you don't have a personal WiFi device.
If you deviate from the route, so that you are outside of the area of the
downloaded map, then the app will try to rely on an internet connection to
get the additional data.
The other thing you might be able to do is get an older iPhone 3GS that is
no longer used with a data plan. A number of users may have upgraded their
iPhones, and fulfilled their contracts. In the U.S. ATT and other carriers
are offering existing customers an 8GB iPhone 3GS for $9.99 with 2 year
contract. (It's the contract that costs the money, of course!). If you get
an iPhone 3GS plus a pay-as-you-go data plan, you could put any GPS apps you
want on the device, and still use VoiceOver. That could be even more cost
effective for you in the long run than getting a GPS Bluetooth Receiver.
HTH. Cheers,
Esther

Re: An Excellent GPS app for iPhone and visually impaired people
Hello Lynne, I've been using Ariadne GPS for quite some time now and it really is excellent. I recommend to my students that they use it along with Navigon since you can't plan routes with Ariadne. With Navigon running in the background, you get the turn-by-turn instructions from Navigon and with Ariadne tracking your progress, you're kept informed about where you are. A great combination.

Re: An Excellent GPS app for iPhone and visually impaired people
There is no built-in GPS receiver on the iPod. There is a way to use some models of Bluetooth receiver, however, i've heard about the Badelf on this and other lists. I don't have an iPod anymore though, just an iPhone,which obviously has a receiver built in. :) Yours, Zack.

Yes, there are at least a few bluetooth GPS receivers that work with an iPod, and then you can do the GPS apps.

Re: An Excellent GPS app for iPhone and visually impaired people
Hi Lovette, I recall a different product, whose name escapes me at the moment, but this one is an option that would render it possible to use IOS GPS apps on an iPod touch. As I recall, the other item was priced about the same. Best regards.
