I haven't spent a lot of time with it yet, but what time I did spend with it looks pretty good for $2.99. Great for browsing an area, works as a compas when browsing, has the ability to zoom in and enlarge the print on the map. But, I have not checked out POIs. What little area that I looked at was residencial and there are no businesses in that area. It certainly seems to have potential to be really good though.

Begin forwarded message: From: Sarah Alawami Sent: Saturday, June 18, 2011 9:29 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [aiphone] new gps app per iphone and ipad Got this off of another list. enjoy. good evening all , here iis a new gps app , where finally we can read the map wigh voiceover . *** Ariadne GPS is now available on the App Store. http://www.ariadnegps.eu - mailto:info%40ariadnegps.eu. Yet another app that uses the GPS! Maybe not. There are some innovative aspects in this application that are worth mentioning. The app offers you the possibility to know your position at any time and monitor it while walking, you can decide to be informed about what changes along the way, street numbers, street names, etc.. There is also the option to save your favorite points and to be alerted, when you approach one of them, for example when you are on a train, bus, etc... using sound, vibration, and even voice, if you are using VoiceOver. Furthermore, there is an interesting and innovative feature, namely the ability to explore the map. The same way a person who sees the map has a whole view of what surrounds them or a view of a specific location, those using VoiceOver can now have an idea of the conformation of a certain area by tapping the map with their finger. Moving your finger on the map, you can hear the street names and numbers pronounced by VoiceOver and make yourself a mental map of the area. This application is fully accessible and provides access to details that are normally unavailable to people who use the speech synthesizer and can therefore be particularly useful for the blind and visually impaired. The app uses the GPS and a remote service, which at the moment is Google. This means that some information may be inaccurate or unavailable at certain times (depending on the gps signal, the network and server availability). However, we are working to improve this information and functionality also using different services and mechanisms. The app is localized in English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Dutch and Danish. For more details you can visit the app web site at http://www.ariadnegps.eu. To give us suggestions, report problems, request information, please send an email to mailto:info%40ariadnegps.eu. The app is available at: http://itunes.apple.com/app/ariadne-gps/id441063072?mt=8 or by looking for Ariadne GPS in your national App Store *** __._,_.___ Reply to sender | Reply to group | Reply via web post | Start a New Topic Messages in this topic (1) Recent Activity: a..
