Re: Navigon Update - Good And Bad News

2016-08-13 Thread Anne Robertson 
Hello Sieghard,

The advantage of Navigon is that you can have all the maps stored on the phone 
so that you don’t need a 3G connection to use the app. For us in Europe, this 
is very useful when out of the home country.

Cheers,

Anne

RE: Navigon Update - Good And Bad News

Apart from the fact that you can download maps to the phone, I am curious what 
you consider advantages of Navigon over free apps like Apple Maps or Google 
Maps or paid solutions like the SeeingEye app which has much better 
accessibility and gives you also a lot of information you won’t get with 
Navigon. I also bought Navigon when I first got my iPhone 4 in 2010, but I 
don’t think I have used it in at least 3 or 4 years because of how good Apple 
Maps and Google Maps are and also because of the fact that I bought a 3-year 
Seeing-Eye subscription.

Subject: Navigon Update - Good And Bad News

Navigon GPS app recently released version 2.16 update.  This version fixed the 
problem we had with the previous update.  We can now read the turn by turn list 
of navigation instructions.  This was broken in the previous update.

But Navigon has dramatically changed the user interface of the app.  It is now 
very map centric.  The familiar menu structure is gone.  I think the features 
are still available, but you will have to explore the various buttons and menus 
to find them.

I have only just begun learning the new interface.  So I cannot give any tips 
yet.

Subject: accessible knitting patterns app

Hi,

In the past, I've used the Lion Brand app to find knitting patterns. The search 
was accessible, and I could read the patterns with a braille display. However, 
this app crashes with iOS 10 betas. Does anyone know of another accessible app 
for finding and reading knitting patterns? I looked on AppleVis, but there was 
nothing.

Thanks,
Anna
