Re: Using Voicevista for turn by turn directions
That is exactly what I was hoping for. I like the easy way of recording and setting markers. However I would also like to be able to have the change of direction automatically voiced without having to press a button. I have a paid app and have never been able to figure out how to accomplish these two tasks with blind square or I would have been using that because I like the way it uses my watch.

Re: Using Voicevista for turn by turn directions
At this stage, I think VoiceVista is not useful for turn by turn directions at all. Stick with Apple Maps, Google Maps, GoodMaps Outdoors if you want turn by turn directions to some place you have not been before. I think VoiceVista could be used to say drop a bunch of way points while out for a walk and then string a route together to retrace your steps or something like that. But, that is just a guess.

Navigon GPS Turn By Turn List
After upgrading to the latest version of Navigon GPS, I find that the turn by turn list of instructions for any route I start is always an empty list. This happens when I choose "vehicle" when starting a route. I don't even see the option for a turn by turn list when I choose "pedestrian" when starting a route. I am using iOS 9.3.1 on an iPhone 5S.

Re: Turn-By-turn Directions Only With Car Mode In Navigon
Go into settings, then route, and flick right to pedestrian, and if it says pedestrian pedestrian mode, then double tap pedestrian and flick right to where it says pedestrian mode with street announcements and double tap. See if that was the trouble. This also assumes you have the setting under sound to include voice with street names.

Re: Turn-By-turn Directions Only With Car Mode In Navigon
Hi Richard, I just checked the settings and pedestrian with voice annoucements is selected. The difference that I observed through VO speaking was after the address was entered and the first start route was double tapped on to select the type of route to be used. When in pedestrian mode in the options, there isn't a button for turn-by-turn directions like seen with the car mode. I was just wondering if I am just discovering this now or is it a bug that I never knew about. Thanks for your response.

Re: getting turn-by-turn walking directions with Apple Maps
Hi Mark and all, You're right - with the screen unlocked, VoiceOver spoke most turns when I was walking a route. It also recalculated when I went a different way, which was cool. Since Navigon works with the screen locked, I guess I thought they all did. At any rate, thanks very much for your help. Best, Anna On Nov 3, 2013, at 12:56 AM, M.

RE: getting turn-by-turn walking directions with Apple Maps
Hi Anna, You know, it's funny, I've never intentionally locked the screen when using any GPS app. I'll take a short walk tomorrow and test it out, as I am certain you will do, as well. The only GPS application that continues to give turn-by-turn navigation, in the background at least, that I've used is A T T Navigator. I did install Google Maps on my phone a while ago but found that I prefer A T T Navigator and the native iOS GPS solutions. My biggest issue with Google Maps is that there is no Repeat button. So, unless you are sighted, there is no way to either confirm or have the TTS repeat its last instruction. Despite countless request for this feature, as far as I know, Google has not addressed this issue. As a side note, about 3 months ago I created a route on both my iPhone 4 S and my Android phone both using Google Maps. I wanted to see if there was any significant difference in the app's performance. So, I started out on my route with Android in one pocket and iOS in the other. They were virtually identical. As I traveled, it felt as though I were hearing the instructions in stereo from two twins sisters. It was a lot of fun.

Re: goolge maps with turn by turn on the iPhone 4 how to get the spoken turn by turn directions to work
Hello Christopher thanks for your reply to my message. Now Hear is what I do I first open my Google app and hit the button for the voice to I can then say navigate to and then the address or name of the place I would like to go to. Now then it will open Google maps app for me. Then do I then select the route I want to take and then choose driving cause I will be in a car? Then after I have done that do I turn voice over off and then double tap the bottom right corner of my screen and then the turn by turn directions will start speaking to me. Are you able to send me step by step instructions on how to do this? So that I can try this on my own and see how well it works for me? Or can you do A podcast on it showing me how to start with opening the app and then entering all of your information for your route and then getting the speaking turn by turn directions up and working.

Hello Raul could you do recording on using the app? I know you can speak to it and say where you would like to go. Now once you have done that. And you can select form driving to transit or walking say you pick driving. Now then do you select the rout that you would like to take and then tap the spot on the screen that just says button near the bottom? Or how exactly do you know that you have gotten the right spot on the screen to hear the spoken turn by turn directions? that is where I am lost. Any and all assistance is welcome.

Re: turn by turn
Google maps isn't difficult but the map is just abominable around here and it's walking directions are dangerous. I used it a couple of times to try and get to clients, once in port colbourne where it walked me a sort of figure 8 around the block where the bus dropped off, then gave me 5 directions at once and told me I'd arrived at my destination. Once in Bradfort where it ignored the lighted intersection not 50 paces behind me and tried to tell me to thump right across the main highway extension through the town. No crosswalk, no nothing. So, google maps is not my friend. Navigon did alright on my ITouch 4th gen though. I had it fired up with an old xgps cradle and it did alright. It's 40 bucks for the canadian version, but maybe if we're lucky the seeing eye app will come out before science figures out how to genetically grow all of us new eyes and we'll have a fully functioning gps for more than twice the price.

Re: turn by turn
Hi Sieghard. I'm testing the Duel Electronics XGPS 150A. Ebony consulting is a reseller for this unit. IPod touch and Ipad don't have a GPS receiver built in and they require a unit like this external to do gps navigation. I don't have an IPhone to test on, but I'm a bit old school. Back when I was using IPaq windows mobile phones, the receivers were good most of the time, but my IBlue 737 was great all the time, It was consistently accurate to 3 metres even in overcast or urban canyon. I'm travelling every day for work, often in unfamiliar areas. So, I loved the accuracy. I also appreciated the extended battery life. The duel and the IBlue both have 30 hour usage batteries which makes them a bit chunky, but goes a long way to extend the battery life of the phone. I need that phone to be a phone because I could be stuck in extreme weather, held up in traffic, lost, late, hit by a car… I have to be able to make emergency calls and stay in touch with clients. The more I could get out of a charge, the better. That's especially true now that I check email, listen to radio, skype people, handle bookings and support calls all on the road from my phone. I'm using a google nexus 4 right now and it supports the XGPS. So, I'm eventually going to get my hands on Nearby Explorer and compare the accuracy of the XGPS and the internal on the nexus 4. Even if the accuracy is the same though, and even considering that I've been getting three days out of each charge, I think I'll probably stick with an external gps receiver for the extremely high end uses I plan to put it too. You know, the cost is pretty steep, and there aren't that many blind people who do the senseless amount of travel I do. So, for a lot of users the external might not be worth it. It might be true that for you, the accuracy and uptime of the phone gps is up to your needs and it wouldn't really be a benefit to you to sink money into an external. For me though, it just makes sense.

Re: Looking for GPS App with Turn-by-turn Instructions
Thank you, Christopher, for your summary. Do these apps announce turns well before one approaches them? I expect the answer is yes. I know this function is not available with the maps in iOS 5.

Re: Looking for GPS App with Turn-by-turn Instructions
Remember, the advantage of Navigon over other apps is that the maps reside on the phone. You do not need an internet connection.

RE: Turn by turn announcements in walking mode using IOS 6.
Richard, thanks much. It will report intersections but not dirrections. Again, thanks.

Apparently, if you turn tracking on, it speaks the intersections, but is also a huge battery drain according to what Marc Taylor reported.

Doubt it as it uses Siri to speak the directions.

No, Siri and maps both require active constant data connection.

Re: Turn by turn directions with maps on my iPhone
I checked, and using maps with turn by turn directions consumed 1.2 mega bites of data and 21% battery on a 30 minute walk. All other apps were closed.

Re: Turn by turn directions with maps on my iPhone
Yes, this is similar battery drain to what you get with other GPS apps. The data usage is quite reasonable.
