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.

Maybe something to do with Settings on my maps app. Does it tell things like turn left in 10 feet Etc? Sent from my iPhone On Jun 6, 2015, at 8:16 PM, Donna wrote: I used Apple Map the other day. I have to say I was very impressed. I was in an unfamiliar area of my hometown. 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 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.

Dear all. I will be traveling to Uk in the last week of June. I will spend some time in London and few days in Brighton downtown. Can someone please recommend an accessible gps app that I can use to find places and walk to them? And also to be able to go to places using public transport. And aside, and offlist, Are their accessible tourism packages available that blind people can use in London? Thanks in anticipation. and apologies for an off list question.
