Hello Everyone,
I just returned from a 4-day mini vacation to Seattle, Washington.
I planned my entire sightseeing excursions using the Google Trips app. In
addition, I used the Apple Maps transit directions and walking directions
the entire time. All of this via VoiceOver. Oh, yes, I used Y
Yes, different lighting conditions is an issue since some closets have
different level of lighting, not to mention bedrooms, stores, etc.
And, being able to get an idea of patterns is great!
I have a sighted wife, so if she is around, I will ask her. Otherwise, I would
use TapTapSee for now.

Apple is coming out with some very affordable iPads these days. The last Mini I
believe was the Mini 4 which was released in October 2015. It is quite a bit
slower than the one most recently released which has received a pretty good

The best bang for your buck on an iPad right now is the new Apple 9.7 inch
model. The mini four is, in my opinion, too old. If they had come out with a
new one with the same processor as the new iPad 9.7, then I would think that
would be a good choice. But they didn’t. You have to figure on upgr

Unfortunately this is a problem that happens occasionally. The Apple techs are

If Safari works on wifi, but not on cellular, then go into settings, cellular,

That one that costs over 700 dollars was incredible, it's true. Very
accurate and like others have said, stand-alone devices tend to have
more accuracy than the IPhone with an app. I just wish they were more
affordable, given that they only do one thing.
