Hello, Chris:
By now I am sure many users posted their views on this “navigon” gps app.
This app, doesn’t work all that well for the IPhone either. I work with many
people who use IPhones, and allot of them happen to be blind, and they felt
that app, was a waste. Many of them use:
sendero look around.
Sendero is also on the android market it if you want to check it out.
I am not sure what you are looking for in a gps, but you can also checkout one
called:
location blind, it’s also called:
blind locater.
this gps works fairly well. It would read out the addresses to the buildings
that you are passing by, and the street that you’re walking along.
You can also checkout:
walky-talky.
this is a pedestrian GPS, and it would guide you step, by step, to your
destination. You would need allot of patients when working with this app, it
does take allot of getting use to, and it’s best to use this gps app, only to
read out the steps in how to get to, and from, your destinations.
Though, don’t get discourage in trying out these apps. Just do what most of us
users on this list have done, downloaded the ones that struck our interest, and
see if it worked well for us.
When working with these apps, there’s allot of trial and arras.
I hope that helps.
Good luck.

Subject: [MA] navigon
hello, listers Christopher stouton here again. I have another interesting
question for you. I was talking to some connections at the Texas division for
blind services this morning and they told me about an app on the apple app
store called navigon. they said its a really good app that's rumored to be
something like the code factory gps app. My question is, does anyone know if
the makers of navigon will be posting that app on the android market anytime
soon? I'm told it's one of the best gps apps for blind users out there and I
think I speak for a lot of us out there, when I say that many of us could use
something like that. I wasn't given a lot of information about it, but it did
spark my interest, and I did look, and I didn't find anything that was terribly
similar to the app they told me about. I did find a talking version of Google
places, which I did download immediately, but I'm still wanting to look at
this navigon app.
