In Canada do you have round about intersections? If so, how does this
application deal with them?

Hi,
I don't recall coming across posts about this app. I had signed up for
beta testing it here in Canada back in February. At the time the only
functionality available was the pedesstrian signal information. Of
course this may be less important at intersections which have an
audible signal which many here in Canbada have, but even here the app
can still be interesting especially if it's a big intersection since
the app can help you to go straight. In any case, I tried it only here
in my small town where all lights have audible signals and it
certainly worked well.
Now the app will be officially launched in Canada on July 1 and will
hopefully soon include maps and turn-by-turn directions which for now
is only available in the United States.
Unlike with main stream apps like Apple Maps or google Maps, it says
these are instructions specifically for the pedestrian and also
include information about crosswalks and so on. I always liked how in
the old Sendero apps/devices you would get information like whether an
intersection was a 4-way or 3-way intersection and while I didn't
specifically read this, hopefully this app will also include this or
it can be suested as an improvement. Maybe it will give Good Maps
Outdoor a run for it's money although since both apps are free I guess
that isn't quite the right term to use. I am definitely curious about
the AI features other than the pedestrian crossing. Below is an email
I received from them a few days ao:

Below you can get familiar with the most important features and
screens in Oko.
Homescreen
On Oko's main screen, you'll find a map with your location, a search
bar to enter your destination, an AI button to scan your environment.
AI Button screen
When clicking on the AI button on the homescreen it will open up the
camera screen and starts running our AI. The camera screen displays on
top what the AI is looking for, in the example below it is looking for
a pedestrian signal.
Navigation using AI screen
When in navigation mode you'll get turn-by-turn instructions, as well
as intersection announcements like the following example: signalized
intersection ahead, cross Broadway to continue. If you're crossing a
signalized intersection you can simply raise your phone to activate
the camera to look for pedestrian signals. Instructions about your
route are visualized at the top of the screen. ETA updates and the
possibility to end your route can be done at the bottom of the screen.
Enjoy exploring and we would love to hear from your feedback by
sending a message to feedb...@ayes.ai
