Hi Nishant,
I use a combination of blindsquare and google maps which usually works. The challenge starts when you need to reroute on account of route closures etc. The maps do reroute but it gets difficult to explain to the driver because many times, google maps tries to bring you back to the original route.

Hello Pranav, Thank you for the response. I find myself using uber mostly as well, but I did wonder how useful google maps would be whilst walking or such. To be honestly for me I expected a little better than what it does do at the moment, could be just my phone and or the network in terms of accuracy, mostly useful if you end up with an unhelpful driver or the like. as for the detailed voice guidance After further investigation, it appears to be a feature only limited to the US and Japan. Thought they would have expanded rolled it out to other countries by now.

I am in a situation where I drive to most places. This can be uber or with a driver. As for walking, I have not tried them but the little I have seen, the directions are quite detailed even in India. I’ll try to checkout this new voice guidance.

The last message I sent did not go through, hoping this one does. Is this feature not available in India yet? https://blog.google/products/maps/better-maps-for-people-with-vision-impairments/ and if not, What other map alternatives if any do you guys use to get around? Thanks. -- *** “The most important thing in life is not the triumph but the struggle. The essential thing is not to have conquered but to have fought well.” -- Disclaimer: 1.
