Hi John, have you thought about looking at Blind Square for him? Ilkka, the 
developer is very responsive and also has a mailing list where the gentleman 
could ask questions.

Blindsquare is great. You can create your own landmarks too. I use it with 
google maps.

RE: Accessible GPS apps and bread crumbs

[Jeff Samco]

Several years ago I tried out MyWay Light. As I recall, one can set bread crumb 
points and name them as one wishes. Then one can select any named point and get 
directions and, if I recall correctly, distance to that location. I think 
holding the phone flat and pointed ahead then tells you the compass direction 
to turn to for proper orientation. I’m probably off in some details but it 
seemed very useful and simple at the time. I don’t know what the “light” 
version has for limitations, perhaps it is the number of points one can store. 
Hopefully it’s still in the App Store.

HTH,

Jeff

Hi guys,

   I’m trying to find an accessible GPS application for the iPhone that will 
offer really easy to use bread crumb features for an older gentleman who is not 
really tech savvy. He lives on a farm that is approximately 60 acres in size. 
He needs an app in which he can navigate between specific landmarks on his 
property and be given directions or indicators if he wanders astray. This would 
be, for example, reaching a water tower from his house or finding his way back 
to his house from another part of his property.

Re: Accessible GPS apps and bread crumbs

['Sandy Tomkins' via VIPhone]

this sounds like a perfect job for NaviLens! The app is free and it works with QR codes specially adapted to be easily easily found by your phone. The codes are free, but do need to be printed from an email attachment. if they are to be used outside, and it sounds like they would, they should be either laminated or printed onto vinyl paper, also readily available from the net. T this might sound like a bit of extra work, and it may be that your friend would need some help getting set up, but these codes are really reliable and absolutely accurate I use them, I don't have 60 acres I only have one, but it's enough to get lost in and there are drop offs and stairs outside, so I like to use these to give me nice landmarks and indications of where I am, they will also guide me to them if I need it.

Hi guys,

   I’m trying to find an accessible GPS application for the iPhone that will 
offer really easy to use bread crumb features for an older gentleman who is not 
really tech savvy. He lives on a farm that is approximately 60 acres in size. 
He needs an app in which he can navigate between specific landmarks on his 
property and be given directions or indicators if he wanders astray. This would 
be, for example, reaching a water tower from his house or finding his way back 
to his house from another part of his property.

 

If anyone can suggest a specific app that will fit the bill, please let me 
know. Also, if one can give pointers that I can pass along to the person, I’d 
appreciate that as well.

RE: Accessible GPS apps and bread crumbs

[Sieghard Weitzel]

60 acres is a pretty good size and compass would not give you the accuracy 
needed. Marking all these points in a GPS app would be the only way, I believe 
Good Maps Outdoors also lets you add custom points and you have something like 
the old getting warmer function from the old Sendero Seeing Eye GPS

Several years ago I tried out MyWay Light. As I recall, one can set bread crumb 
points and name them as one wishes. Then one can select any named point and get 
directions and, if I recall correctly, distance to that location. I think 
holding the phone flat and pointed ahead then tells you the compass direction 
to turn to for proper orientation. I’m probably off in some details but it 
seemed very useful and simple at the time. I don’t know what the “light” 
version has for limitations, perhaps it is the number of points one can store. 
Hopefully it’s still in the App Store.

HTH,

Jeff

Hi guys,

   I’m trying to find an accessible GPS application for the iPhone that will

really tech savvy. He lives on a farm that is approximately 60 acres in size. 
He needs an app in which he can navigate between specific landmarks on his

Too bad sound scape is being discontinued. It might’ve worked in this case.

Subject: Accessible GPS apps and bread crumbs

 

Hi guys,

   I’m trying to find an accessible GPS application for the iPhone that will 
offer really easy to use bread crumb features for an older gentleman who is not 
really tech savvy. He lives on a farm that is approximately 60 acres in size. 
He needs an app in which he can navigate between specific landmarks on his 
property and be given directions or indicators if he wanders astray. This would 
be, for example, reaching a water tower from his house or finding his way back 
to his house from another part of his property.

 

If anyone can suggest a specific app that will fit the bill, please let me 
know. Also, if one can give pointers that I can pass along to the person, I’d 
appreciate that as well.

Re: Accessible GPS apps and bread crumbs

[Thomas Frank]

When all else fails I return to my good ole faithful “Ariadne GPS.”  It does 
one thing very well; direct you to a point of interest you have entered. 
Initially you do not need the internet or a maps application. It will give you 
direction an distance to a POI no matter where you are in the world. I believe 
it costs around $20.

Hey, is that app still available? I had it and loved it many years ago, but I

Please tell me I’m wrong.

Hi Tom. I removed the original posts so I don’t know it you are responding to 
my suggestion of “Ariadne GPS.” If you are, I use the app frequently and it’s 
still available in the App Store. Since you can keep all of your POIs, I enjoy 
going back and seeing how far that Bed and Breakfast is the time I went to 
Rome, Italy.

Hi Tom. I removed the original posts so I don’t know it you are responding to 
my suggestion of “Ariadne GPS.” If you are, I use the app frequently and it’s 
still available in the App Store. Since you can keep all of your POIs, I enjoy 
going back and seeing how far that Bed and Breakfast is the time I went to 
Rome, Italy.

Re: Accessible GPS apps and bread crumbs

[Thom Spittle]

Yes, I was talking about your post. I just checked in the App Store, and it was 
there. Several years ago, it was not in the App Store, and they did not update 
the app when Apple made a shift to the 64-bit programs. But all I had to do is 
re-download, and my points of interest were there. At least a couple of them 
were. Thanks for letting me know about this. I think it will be a great 
replacement for Soundscape.

 Hi guys,
 I’m trying to find an accessible GPS application for the iPhone that will 
 offer really easy to use bread crumb features for an older gentleman who 
 is not really tech savvy. He lives on a farm that is approximately 60 
 acres in size. He needs an app in which he can navigate between specific 
 landmarks on his property and be given directions or indicators if he 
 wanders astray. This would be, for example, reaching a water tower from 
 his house or finding his way back to his house from another part of his 
 property.
 
  If anyone can suggest a specific app that will fit the bill, please let 
 me know. Also, if one can give pointers that I can pass along to the 
 person, I’d appreciate that as well.
