Re: BlindOX turn-by-turn navigation - podcasts
Updates to my beta application:1. If you choose walking directions, route will be calculated by trying to avoid tolls, fairies;2. If you choose route by transit / public transport, app searches for a route with less walking criteria in mind if it's possible, because I assume that for a blind person is easier to go by public transport than walking through unknown places;3. If your device screen is turned off and when you turn it on and app realizes that it's far away from the previously known location, it searches for a nearest point in your route and automatically redirects to it. It doesn't do this if you're in the public transport;4. Keep screen awake is improved a bit as well. So if you turn on this function, you can put your device to your pocket by turning screen to the side of your clothes to avoid physical body touch and can use it without the problem that screen turning off automatically;5. You can use Compass on IOS as well as on Android devices, however you should use Google Chrome browser to have a best experience with this app. Keep screen awake works on IOS as well;6. I updated directions as follows: Go forward 20 meters, turn slight right and go 20 meters, turn right and go 20 meters, turn around and go slight right 20 meters, go back 20 meters, turn around and go slight left 20 meters, turn left and go 20 meters, turn slight left and go 20 meters;7. Detection if you are in public transport or just waiting for the vehicle to arive is rewritten as well by checking if you at least once during this route were nearby the point of the stop or not. If you were nearby the stop and app fixed that, then it checks if you are nearby the stop still or at least 50 meters away. If you are away 50 meters from the stop or more, then that, then app assumes that you already going by transport and showes you when to get off the transport. If you are nearby the stop you need to get out, it redirects you to a next step, however it worns you when to get off if you don't turn off your screen. If you know that's far away the stop you need to get out, then you can lock the screen and when you turn it on, app automatically recalculates the distance toward the end stop you nead to get off. Yeah, I could use speed, accuracy and more stuff to try to similate detection of transport, however all the algorithms I wrote and tested, this one seems to be most efficient. If something goes wrong, then you can click next step or previous step button to get to the point you want;8. From now on, you can enter an address to your destination as well as an adress of your current location. If you do so, app doesn't take your current location as a starting point, but exactly that specified address. This is very useful when you're in a building and want to get an exact route from an address. Also you can use this if you know that you'll be somewhere in the near future and will be important to know where to go.That's all for now.You can test it in here: https://www.justbest.eu/
