Re: And Finally! A Loadstone like GPS solution on the iPHone
I support companies that can give me the most, with the least amount of fuss. I rather pay $100 for something that does everything I want, and does it well, in 1 package than pay $50 for something that does half the things I want at a average level at that. unless I spend time switching between that and 2 or 3 other apps to get all the info I want of course. I wouldn't pay $900 like how it use to cost though. Thats just robbery. But $100? not so much if it delivers. JMO.

Re: And Finally! A Loadstone like GPS solution on the iPHone
Hi. $100? Maybe. $300? Definitely not! I don't support companies that think they're products including apps, need to cost an arm and both legs if I can help it. Thats why I moved to the iPhone. I got tired of paying as stupid amount of money [Talks] to make my phone speak and also why I'm writing this on a Mac that I didn't have to pay $10 to make speak over it's life time [Jaws for Winblows].

Re: And Finally! A Loadstone like GPS solution on the iPHone
Tons. Look at all the voiceover users who shelled out the money for Navigon, and Tom Tom. And even then, we have to use 1 or 2 more apps to supplement the main turn by turn Navigation app. And for that matter, it just doesn't have to be bought by blind people, or voiceover users in general.

Re: And Finally! A Loadstone like GPS solution on the iPHone
The way I look at it is this. I am sure that the price of Geo could be brought to something acceptable as they know everyone who have experienced the product and liked it, would want it so for a lesser sum (as how apps are in the app store) they could sell Geo for what we pay for apps at the moment as no one will pay extortionate prices any more.

Re: And Finally! A Loadstone like GPS solution on the iPHone
Krister, there is no programming involved when it comes to creating points along the way to your destination. You ask someone to guide you once, and when you feel like you should set up a landmark somewhere, you just shake your phone and label the point. If the next landmark you set up is located 80 meters at 3 o'clock from you previous landmark, the app will automatically tell you where it is. It is not up to you to set up direction information. You just shake it up and walk. Lol.

Re: And Finally! A Loadstone like GPS solution on the iPHone
Hi Ricardo Yes, I know that the app does not give turn by turn directions. I would except that if it did, trust me. However, the verbal directions that are written out are incomplete. Because as far as I can see, there is no way to get it written out the directions Eagertho go to the bus stop or what to do after you get off. Now, the good thing is, at least the app assumes that if sign people had to put up with the things we have to put up with for GPS programs, they would be using paper maps.

Hi, But the maps app doesn't give turn by turn directions while traveling. It just gives a list of directions.

Re: And Finally! A Loadstone like GPS solution on the iPHone
Hi guys I haven't followed too closely on this thread, because I wasn't sure that I could make any intelligent comments. However, I would like to say that I really wish somebody would develop better a GPS for us! Last night, I was messing with the GPS on the iPhone. You know, the one that comes with it. I got Siri to put in the address because my husband had it on his iPhone. Of course, it brought up the map and I chose Gaubert by bus. The problem is as you know, the app tells you to walk to the bus stop and probably shows a map of doing that. However, it also tells you to walk to your destination after you get off the bus stop, giving no details of how to get there, at least I couldn't figure out any verbally. Me and my seeing-eye dog have been traveling around for 42 years successfully. However, the last thing I need is complications on mobility with dealing with the computer. Therefore I am the kind of person that would keep a developer in business. I don't want to even want to look at a map!

Re: And Finally! A Loadstone like GPS solution on the iPHone
But before the app can guide you back to your destination, or for that matter anywhere else, you actually have to draw a map yourself of the way you want to go, as far as i understand the loadstone concept, and i could be totally wrong here, but i want to have maps drawn for me and then follow them, i don't want to go fumbling around in foreign teritories and then try drawing up some kind of map especially not if you have to provide lat and long coordinates yourself.

This is definitely not an app where you can input an address and expect to be guided to it. I would love to find an app that would work well with VoiceOver and provide accurate pedestrian navigation instructions. Last time I used Navigon in pedestrian mode, I felt like an idiot when it said "At the roundabout, take the second exit." This app is great to find directions in large open spaces.

Re: And Finally! A Loadstone like GPS solution on the iPHone
Juan, I did not mean to offend you in any way, sorry if my message may have been perceived as somewhat aggressive. The reason why I replied the way I did is because you just gave your opinion by saying that another app was better than this, without any substance or argument whatsoever . Ariadne GPS is a nice app and may suit many users in specific contexts, but I had clearly depicted how MyWay could be used and well, your message just did not make sense. It did not make sense because, although both apps aim to provide valuable navigation assistance to the blind and visually impaired, their possible use cases are not quite comparable. They both certainly have their pros and cons. I think I would have understood your point of view much better if you had motivated your message a little more, just like you did in your last reply. All the best, enjoy your evening. :) Emrah On Jan 18, 2012, at 7:17 PM, Juan Pablo wrote: > Hi, Emrah, > Sorry. I am only an user.

Re: And Finally! A Loadstone like GPS solution on the iPHone
But as i understand it, you have to put in your own points and stuff yourself, this is why i never used loadstone, because if you hadn't made points yourself or if there weren't readymade maps, made by users it was as good as useless. Call me lazy if you will, but i'd much rather prefer walking a readymade rout to learn it than first have to build the route then learn it. /Krister 18 jan 2012 kl. 18:33 skrev Emrah: > It is not a turn by turn app, but can almost sound like one if you set up > your points right. > > If the app tells you your destination is at 3 o'clock and you are at the > corner of 2 streets, you logically make a right.

Hey. This is an awesome app. Thanks. I didn't know if the lite version covered Winnipeg but it does! I think I'll use this more than Sendero.

Re: And Finally! A Loadstone like GPS solution on the iPHone
Hi, Emrah, Sorry. I am only an user. I have not any partner with ariadne debs. In other hands, ariadne uses google to retrieve maps information. This app uses Open street map, a repository that in some common countries (brazil) are very poor quality. Finally, let me say again the three words that me last e-mail begun "in my opinion" All the best. -Original Message- From: Emrah Sent: Wednesday, January 18, 2012 4:02 PM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: And Finally! A Loadstone like GPS solution on the iPHone You cannot compare both. Does Ariadne GPS let you walk free in an open space, like mountains, parks, forests, and then brings you back to your origin point? Can you set a destination point in Ariadne GPS and be guided to it with intermediate points to help you recall your position? Can you create points of interest e.g.: university buildings on a campus, subway or bus stations, ATMs, benches or picnic spots in a park? Can you share points of interest with a community?

Re: And Finally! A Loadstone like GPS solution on the iPHone
This is not an app that can guide you to an address you have not previously visited. If you can have someone guide you once, you can use this app and set up points along the way. I think this app is a thousand times more usable than any other pedestrian navigation system out there. You can set up points at street intersections, crossings, bus stops and so on and so forth. I can't wait to go and walk in Central Park with my dog without worrying about the direction I take, landmarks or how many steps… Emrah Ps: as the community grows, we can expect to have people set up downloadable points. E.g.: Subway stations in NYC.

Re: And Finally! A Loadstone like GPS solution on the iPHone
Hi. What is the differences between the light and the classic versions? I'd read the App store description if I could but it's all in german. Thanks.

Is this all the app does, or is it a full-fledged GPS app?
