Mario, Instead of Google Maps, try plain old Google. I write my query in the following form:
Directions: origin, destination Note the colon after "direction." I just now tested this idea again, and here's what I found. 1. I got very specific directions when I searched for directions from one town to another. 2. when I searched for directions within the city where I live, I didn't get such specific directions, but various pages came up with the information I'd need, such as nearby subway stops, miles involved, etc. If no one has a better suggestion, I hope this works for you. -----Original Message----- From: Jfw [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Mario Brusco via Jfw Sent: Monday, August 04, 2014 10:58 AM To: Dave Durber; The Jaws for Windows support list. Subject: getting traveling directions hi fellow listers, I am in need of getting directions to a destination address and wanted to know if there is an accessible/usable service that I can use? I tried Google Maps but it's somewhat difficult to make heads/tales of things like where to type in the starting and destination address among choosing the few options and reviewing the results/steps in a text layout. MapQuest has gone totally graphical, and their classic interface does not exist anymore. So what else is there for us screen reader users? Anyone? _______________________________________________ Jfw mailing list [email protected] http://lists.the-jdh.com/mailman/listinfo/jfw_lists.the-jdh.com _______________________________________________ Jfw mailing list [email protected] http://lists.the-jdh.com/mailman/listinfo/jfw_lists.the-jdh.com
