Hi David that's interesting about where you put the iphone. on my
apex of course there is a strap which you put over your shoulder so
when carrying my piano tuning bag to clip the iphone near your ear
will make it better. so if your gps system keeps anouncing where you
are that's a great help.
I find when on a bus say I do not put a route in the gps as the bus
goes round estates I just put in a destination and have anouncments
to where I am.
Now when I get off the bus I put in a route to the house where I am
doing the piano tuning.

I connect my Bluetooth Braille display to my iPhone and use it the
same way whilst walking, or i tuck my iPhone under my shirt collar
so the speaker is near my ear. I also use a guide dog, and can
easily hear the speech even in high traffic. There are also
Bluetooth speakerphones which can be purchased and carried in a
similar fashion.

> hi there very interesting point about flicking a screen when
walking. my guide dog is brilliant but i must say with the iphone
or the android when walking if i have to do anything on the screen
it is a real pain when walking. i am one of the very fortunate
people who can use the apex with sendero gps and with the device
over my shoulder i have the braille at my right hand. today
walking on a dual carrige way it was impossible to hear my iphone
gps but with the braille on the apex all was well. i knew where
the small gap was that i had to find to the park but of course
grace found it but again it was good to know it was coming up. i
wonder if anyone on the list uses the android gps with a braille
display this of course would make it a lot better to use when
walking but again which people say on the list the cost of a
braille display is very expensive. what about a voice activated
gps but again in heavy traffic it would not work. all the
interesting stuff though.
