You can't walk indipendently in a place you don't know at all without sighted assistance. You have to know the general route at least a little. That said, there's RNIB Navigator, Ariadne GPS, Blind Square and Navigon. Pick your poison as all of them are pretty good at what they do. On 6/6/2015 10:14 PM, TaraPrakash wrote: Dear all.

Re: Accessible gps app to walk independently in UK?
Travelline UK would help with public transport, buses in particular, though i'm not as keen on it as an app as the one they squashed. I think it does underground/subway too. Blind Square should still be the gps app, though again, I'm not the best to recommend things I didn't do well with.

Re: Accessible gps app to walk independently in UK?
Yes, that's how it works for me. As I'm walking, I can hear a countdown every so often to the next turn, and the street name of the street I'll be turning into. Siri tends to use road numbers, which isn't always helpful, while Maps uses the street names. Vince.

Re: Accessible gps app to walk independently in UK?
Not really. You can't walk indipendently in a place you don't know at all without sighted assistance. You have to know the general route at least a little. That said, there's RNIB Navigator, Ariadne GPS, Blind Square and Navigon. Pick your poison as all of them are pretty good at what they do. On 6/6/2015 10:14 PM, TaraPrakash wrote: Dear all.

Re: Accessible gps app to walk independently in UK?
Maybe something to do with Settings on my maps app. Does it tell things like turn left in 10 feet Etc?

I wasn't sure where a particular street was. I used Apple Map and it took me to where I needed to go. Would I rely solely on any app to get me around a totally unfamiliar area, nope not a chance.

Off all places I have been trying it at Washington DC metro area maybe I am not doing something right? Can you guide me to a podcast in which Siri is being used for knowing walking directions to a particular place Sent from my iPhone On Jun 6, 2015, at 6:38 PM, Vincent Thacker vi...@gainleics.fsnet.co.uk wrote: Is the built-in Maps app not enough for what you want? You can also tell Siri to speak walking directions to a particular place, and Siri will then work alongside Maps, which gives you a lot of detail. For transport, I've heard good things about Travelline. Vince.
