Hello Arnthor,
I did some testing with Dotwalker just now, and on my Galaxy Nexus running
Android 4.3 the situation is the same as you describe. The program crashes
all the time.
I would say it's not very useful as it is now, but the concept looks
promising. Hopefully the developers will eventually solve these problems.
Kind regards,
Miranda

Hello, Miranda.
The Dotwalker seems promising, but a little complicated. I tested it
both undir Mobile Accessibility and Talkback. Unfortunately I did not
get far as the program stopped working and after a second restart the
situation was the same.
I am running Samsung Galaxy SIII with Android 4.1.2.
I will give it another try soon.
Best regards and many thanks,
Arnthor

Hello Arnthor,
You may also want to try out Dotwalker. This is a navigation app which is
especially designed for vision impaired users, and, in case you are
familiar with Loadstone for Symbian, Dotwalker works in a similar way. I
haven't tried it myself, but the description looks rather promising.
Here is the web site:

Kind regards,

Subject: [MA] The Intersection Explorer and Walky Talky
Hello, everyone.
I have been trying to use some navigation systems with or without MA.
1. The "Where am I" from Code Factory is quite useful if you have some
idea about your destination, as the software tells the name of a street
when you enter it. Hopefully some navigation can be added in the future.
2. Walky Talky has both it's strong and week points. The compas works
well, but it does not tell you some details and does not reconfigure the
route, if you decide not to follow the instructions, as the OVI-maps
does with Mobile Speak.
3. I have not been able to use the Intersection Explorer yet. If I enter
a new point, the program shifts to Walky Talky, and after having
selected an address, The Intersection Explorer takes over. It seems not
very reliable and some funny things have happened with the streets. I
have not been able to get any navigation from it.
4. The Voice Navigator I thought would be interesting, but I have never
found the necessary way of letting it give some information about the
route.
5. The GPS Navigation Maps seem to have a button which should be
labelled as "Add to favourites". that one I have not found.
Has any of you been able to use any of these programs? Are there any
other programs around which could be of some use?
Best regards,
Arnthor Helgason
