Re: Wanted: good gps application
I'd suggest taking a look at MapQuest. I'm not sure it does what you want, but it is accessible, and it is free, so you can check it out.

RE: Wanted: good gps application
Hi Ari, You pretty much tested all he best GPS apps, some people on here use Motion X GPS Drive, but I'm not sure how well they cover Finland and in any case, it doesn't do anything Navigon can't do and while it's cheaper to buy it, it needs data as opposed to having the maps on the phone and for voice guidance there is an annual fee. I don't think what you describe exists at this point, but you definitely want to watch the list as there are now 3 new apps that have been mentioned before, but which are not yet out. One is an app called "BreadCrums" and I understand it will work similarly to MyWay Classic. It's from the same developer who made LookTel Money Reader and LookTel Recognizer, not sure if it will offer a lot of other features compared to MyWay Classic. The next app was just mentioned yesterday and it's apparently a new Maps/GPS app from Nokia, one of your country's well-known companies. So t is called "Here" as far as I know and should be out in a few weeks. This is not a blind-specific app so nobody really knows at this point how accessible it will be. Lastly, Sendero has received funding from Seeing-Eye to develop a full-fletched iPhone GPS app for the blind in addition to their Sendero LookAround app which is useful, but very limited in what it tells you. This will definitely also be the most expensive of these apps and should hopefully give the user a similar set of features as was available in MobileGeo. I have high hopes for this app as MobileGeo was a very good app, but it suffered somewhat from the instability of the Windows Mobile platform. Good luck, Sieghard -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group.
