Re: New mapping app with voice guided walking directions available from Nokia
Hi Listers. I found this so far about the Nokia HERE app. After entering an address, I tried entering a place such as McDonalds for example because I knew it would find it that after hitting the go button it appeared not to work because the screen didn't seem to change as far as foiceover was concerned. This however isn't true. I found that if you put your finger near the middle of the screen and swipe down with one finger the results appear. Of course where i live you end up with several hits for McDonalds and you can pick the one you want and double tap on it then you can swipe right and get buttons such as (call) (share) or )route). This is as far as I have progressed. Also I believe you can easily change the McDonalds you chose to the starting point instead of the destination. Looks like this app has potential but Haven't had time to walk outside with it yet. It is a strange app though where accessibility is concerned and it also doesn't appear to have any settings associated with it either in the main app or in the settings app itself. I find that really strange! Don -- Don Breda don.br...@gmail.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

I got the same useless results as you did. This is clearly not going to be usable.

Fwd: New mapping app with voice guided walking directions available from Nokia
Below is a sighted friend's assessment of the Nokia maps app. David Chittenden, MSc, MRCAA Email: dchitten...@gmail.com Mobile: +64 21 2288 288 Sent from my iPhone Begin forwarded message: From: Geoff Nicholls tangoge...@gmail.com Date: 21 November 2012 7:30:47 NZDT To: David Chittenden dchitten...@gmail.com Subject: Re: New mapping app with voice guided walking directions available from Nokia Not too flash, so far. It had me taking two buses to the railway station from here, rather than one, and an estimate of 40 minutes vs 25-30 actual. And the satellite photos are embarrassingly crap. The photos of NYC are, naturally, just fine. I couldn't recommend this at all.
