For Immediate Release GoodMaps Continues to Provide Enhanced Wayfinding thru 
Partnerships with Intel, Mapping UK Stations and Stores LOUISVILLE, Ky. 
(February 21, 2022) – GoodMaps, born out of American Printing House for the 
Blind (APH), continues to create innovative wayfinding experiences for the 
visually impaired. With a recently announced partnership with Intel, expansion 
of wayfinding through UK train stations and grocery stores, an acquisition of 
Sendero GPS, the beginning of APH GoodMaps Education and the start of the 2022 
Smart Cities project with APH. As part of the Intel RISE Technology Initiative 
(IRTI), GoodMaps is collaborating with Intel to deliver a high-quality indoor 
wayfinding solution for all, with special emphasis on improving indoor 
navigation for people including those who are blind or low vision, mobility 
impaired, and deaf or hard of hearing. With GoodMaps technology people can 
safely, effectively and easily navigate indoor spaces resulting in greater 
independence when traveling. In the United Kingdom, GoodMaps has revolutionized 
the way passengers' access, utilize, and travel throughout railway stations, 
due to the partnership with Transpennine Express. Any passenger traveling 
through TPE stations will now be able to navigate with turn-by-turn directions 
throughout their stations using the GoodMaps Explore app, available on both iOS 
and Android free of charge. GoodMaps Explore can navigate travelers from the 
station entrance, through ticket barriers, and onto their train, with 
confidence and ease. By providing an inclusive navigation solution to the TPE 
transportation community, GoodMaps technology increases the adoption of public 
transport with a new enhanced wayfinding experience. GoodMaps recently acquired 
the Sendero GPS mobile app from Aira and released the subscription apps, Seeing 
Eye GPS, RNIB Navigator and Guide Dogs NSW under the name GoodMaps Outdoors for 
free. These state-of-the-art digital maps are then made available in the 
GoodMaps Explore app, which provides audio instructions to communicate routing 
and critical spatial 1839 Frankfort Avenue, Louisville, KY 40206 information as 
users move throughout a space, whether indoors or outdoors. The app can be 
downloaded for free in the Apple App Store or Android Marketplace. GoodMaps 
requires no infrastructure or beacons in a building. Others require dozens of 
beacons, which are costly and require maintenance. By utilizing LiDAR and image 
recognition, GoodMaps provide fast and accurate maps of indoor spaces at a 
fraction of the effort and costs. About American Printing House for the Blind’s 
GoodMaps Explore GoodMaps Explore is an accessible navigation application. It 
helps everyone, visually impaired or not, navigate indoors and outdoors safely 
and efficiently. To make that happen, GoodMaps is on a mission to map the great 
indoors by streamlining that process. We can accurately map a building in the 
time it takes to walk through it. All of these maps are available to Explore 
app users. Another revolutionary aspect of GoodMaps Explore is the superior 
positioning accuracy provided by camera-based positioning (CPS). CPS is not 
limited to indoor positioning and has the potential to bring this accuracy 
level outdoors. For more information, please go to

GoodMaps Outdoors
This is what the Seeing Eye GPS used to be, very similar app layout, the 
description is as follows:
GoodMaps Outdoors is a fully accessible turn-by-turn GPS app for iPhone. It has 
all the outdoor navigation features you expect plus unique offerings you cannot 
get anywhere else, including extra verbosity for blind users.
• Four main tabs are easy to access at the bottom of the screen: Routes, 
Location (Default), POIs and Settings.
• A unique GoodMaps Outdoors feature: Record a route using breadcrumbs, called 
Waypoints. No other accessible app has this. You can add these waypoints with 
the add button or you can shake the phone to create a Waypoint. It also 
automatically records a point after you have gone a certain distance. These 
Waypoint routes can be saved for future use.
• The Lookaround Wand in the top right tells you what is around.
• The More Info button gives the altitude and speed.
• Create your own POIs and share your POIs with others or keep them private 
with a shortcut on the Location page or from the POIs page.
• POI categories are announced with search results and make finding your 
destination easier.
• Audio tones and vibrations give feedback throughout the app, letting you know 
about upcoming turns, critical intersection information, and when search is 
loading.
• A robust route menu includes multiple methods of choosing a destination, from 
starting with a POI, an address from your contact list, your route history, and 
many more!
• Settings include many customization options like: vibrations, vision 
contrast, color settings, and distance units.
• There are announcement options like right, left, clockface or both.

GoodMaps Explore<https://apps.apple.com/ca/app/goodmaps-explore/id1524698552>
This seems to be focusing more on indoor navigation in what are referred to as 
"mapped locations", the first part of the description is as follows:

Does the old one offer something that Good Maps does not? Just curious.

  I'm not sure why you would continue to pay for using Seeing Eye GPS when you

a gPS app that will just read the street names as I walk. Due to health issues, 
I have forgotten street names, but still know the route. I have my phone paired

Hi! Folks:

Blind Square is great with names, and street signs, especially if you use 
walking trails. Download Blind Square from the App Store, it is free. Hope this 
helps!

RE: GPS Apps That Will Announce Street Names

2023-03-24 Thread Sieghard Weitzel 
The Seeing Eye app was replaced with Good Maps Outdoor as was already pointed 
out. I accidently came across it in the App Store the other day and really 
don't know why it's still there because under "version history" it says this:
Version 3.7.4, 3 years ago
Also, they are made by the same developer, both apps list the developer as 
"GoodMaps Inc.".

Best regards,

Hi Robert,

I'm not sure why you would continue to pay for using Seeing Eye GPS when you 
can download and use the new version of it called GoodMaps Outdoors for free. 
Does the old one offer something that Good Maps does not? Just curious.

Hellow Everyone,

I am beginning home training Monday with my new guide. I am interested in a gPS 
app that will just read the street names as I walk. Due to health issues, I 
have forgotten street names, but still know the route. I have my phone paired 
with my hearing aids. It would be really great if the app provided information 
regarding whether an intersection has lights or stop signs.

Thank you in advance,

Yes,

Touch the top of the phone in the status bar and if you don’t land on it, flick 
left.

It is always in the upper left corner of the status bar.

The status bar is usually from left to right:

Cellular, Wi-Fi, Clock, then depending on your settings, you may find, 
Orientation Locked, Location Tracking on, And possibly info about any Bluetooth 
devices connected, then in the top right will be the battery percentage.

 

HTH,

I found Apple Maps offers preferable directions on highway exits and rapid 
transit entrances that Google Maps does not recognize.  Also, Apple Maps can 
send updated notifications or text messages on an estimated time of arrival to 
anyone in the user’s contacts. Google Maps just sends a notification or e-mail

I found Apple Maps offers preferable directions on highway exits and rapid 
transit entrances that Google Maps does not recognize.  Also, Apple Maps can 
send updated notifications or text messages on an estimated time of arrival to 
anyone in the user’s contacts. Google Maps just sends a notification or e-mail 
once without updated timeframes.

I found Apple Maps offers preferable directions on highway exits and
rapid transit entrances that Google Maps does not recognize.  Also,
Apple Maps can send updated notifications or text messages on an
estimated time of arrival to anyone in the user’s contacts. Google
Maps just sends a notification or e-mail once without updated
timeframes.

Re: GPS on iPhone.

2021-05-08 Thread Richard Turner 
I find Google Maps more VO friendly. If you have Google Maps installed you can 
tell Siri give me driving directions to XYZ with Google Maps and it works just 
like using Apple Maps, but I find the interface with Google to be much better.

RE: GPS on iPhone.

2021-05-08 Thread Karen Poulakos 
When my husband and I travel, I just ask Siri for directions to wherever we're 
going, and the map will open, and directions are spoken.  Once the map opens, I 
usually have to turn off Voiceover, as it competes with the spoken directions 
from the gps in the maps app.

Re: GPS app to create a rout

2020-06-21 Thread Jennie Facer 
Sorry this is an old thread, but I wanted to let you know of an app called 
clew. What happens is you record yourself going one direction, then it will 
tell you what to do to go back the other way. It is real handy for like hotels 
and the like. It may be handy in this situation as well. Your student could at 
least find their way back from where they started.

What are people using for hiking navigation and GPS info?

I don’t know about walking tracks  in your country

But I wouldn’t rely on gps apps for walking tracks here in n new Zealand,

If you don’t turn in the right place it’s a sudden stop at the bottom of a 1000 
foot drop,
Or the track that was there yesterday,
Is missing  some critical section tomorrow.

Kelly is right, it would be better for the friend to join the list; but beyond 
that, one of the first things you are presented with when you first use any GPS 
app, is the warning to not rely solely on a GPS device.
Anyone who does so, is asking to get lost or worse.
Perhaps a call to Aira, since they could look at a map of their location and 
get an idea what's around.
The bottom line is GPS accuracy can range from 30 feet to several hundred feet 
depending on the location, weather, and quality of the receiver.
That and the travel skills of the person using it.

Re: GPS Apps for hiking?

2020-05-09 Thread Eric Caron 
I’m looking for something that would be useful on say a 100 or 200 mile hike in 
the woods, say At trail.  Either something GPS locations can be added to or if 
possible even have it follow us on a map to indicate if we are on the trail. 

I’m new at this so not sure what is the most helpful.

Re: GPS Apps for hiking?

2020-05-09 Thread Kelly Pierce 
For non-established trails, are you looking for bread crumb navigation?

Prominent survival bloggers have evaluated iPhones and $500 Garman
navigation devices in places without cell signals and found both offer
the same level of accuracy. Realize though, calling the iPhone’s
navigation capability GPS is inaccurate.  While it does use the Geo
positioning System from the United States Government, the iPhone also
uses the Global Navigation Satellite System or GLONAS from the Russian
government, cell towers, Wi-Fi locations, and starting with the 2017
iPhones, Galileo, the European satellite navigation system.

 Hi foks,

 Is there a good GPS  app for hiking?  I have apps for on the road but
 as
 I’m
 doing more off road hiking they are not helpful.

 What are people using for hiking navigation and GPS info?

 Thank you,

 And if a iPhone is not as strong as a designated receiver I’m ok with looking

Kelly is right, it would be better for the friend to join the list; but beyond 
that, one of the first things you are presented with when you first use any GPS 
app, is the warning to not rely solely on a GPS device.
Anyone who does so, is asking to get lost or worse.
Perhaps a call to Aira, since they could look at a map of their location and 
get an idea what's around.
The bottom line is GPS accuracy can range from 30 feet to several hundred feet 
depending on the location, weather, and quality of the receiver.
That and the travel skills of the person using it.

RE: GPS Apps for hiking?

2020-05-09 Thread Andrew J. LaPointe 
Hello, I have a question on GPS Apps.  Using Blind square, or any of the Apps, 
I noticed that sometimes the direction will say, 100 feet to your right or left 
or whatever it is.  Sometimes the left or right is correct but, is there a way 
to know for sure if it is left or right?  If you are solo, no one is around, it 
could be a problem to go in the wrong direction.I know that is obcious but, 
 just asking for a friend.  Thank you Andy and Shubert

Google Maps includes bike and hiking trails so it can offer turn by turn

Re: GPS Apps for hiking?

2020-05-08 Thread 'RobH.' via VIPhone 
I have an old one here called Ariadne GPS  which allows you to set Poi's and 
then it gives you distance and compass bearing - clock 
face directions to the chosen poi.
Still seems quite reliable,  don't know why I didn't use it more or lately 
since I walk water courses as much as public highways.
Think it good for on-water as well as off-road.  Sailing/canoeing is popular 
too.

2020-05-07 Thread Eric Caron 
Thanks folks, 

Keep the suggestions coming. 

I’ll try the near by explorer.  I had the app but never played with it.  I have 
good coverage so I’ll see if the paid version is worth it if it actually is 
useful when hiking. 

I’ve got a lot to learn to see if it is helpful.

If other apps might be more useful send the tips my way.

Re: GPS Apps for hiking?

2020-05-07 Thread Richard Turner 
I think you will find the full program is still $79.99 on the App store.
However, the free version has had some upgrades recently.

But, you will need GPS coverage and Data coverage since the free version 
doesn't download the maps.

Re: GPS app to create a rout

2020-04-28 Thread Kelly Pierce 
Ann,

Turn by turn directions are not available in Blind Square.  However,
they are available in Apple maps or Google Maps.  It is possible to
use both Blind Square and Apple or Google Maps to obtain audio
directions and guidance from both applications. I would suggest new
users familiarize themselves with the interfaces and gain skill in
using Apple and Google Maps before combining one of them with Blind
Square.  Your student needs to identify a street address.  In Google
and Apple Maps, an edit field can be found when the application is
first opened.  In Google and Apple Maps, the student should also be
sure pedestrian mode is enabled. The other options are driving and
transit modes. Turn by turn directions are then provided. Someone can
also reverse their trip in both applications. If someone wants to
simulate a route that starts in a place other than the current
location, then the user just enters the starting address where the
apps say “use my current location.” Try this out yourself.

Kelly

RE: GPS app to create a rout

2020-04-28 Thread Simon A Fogarty 
What would be wrong with using google maps and saving way points in the google 
maps app as your students walking around,

Subject: GPS app to create a rout

My student is looking for an app she can use to create a rout--either in 
advance or while walking.  she wants to know when to turn while walking around 
her neighborhood, and how to reverse the rout to go the other way.

I don't see a way to make blindSquare do this.  Am I missing something, or is 
there another app that would do it easily?

thx,

Re: GPS app to create a rout

2020-04-27 Thread Richard Turner 
Well if she wants a custom route, one way to kind of do this with Blind Square 
is to put a marker IE add a place at each corner so it alerts you when you are 
there.
Of course, GPS accuracy can vary widely so depending on an app for this could 
get a little dicey. Landmarks that she can find would be much better.
I've heard that LoadStone might do this, but I've never tried it.
I believe it is $7.99 in the app store.

Re: GPS app four labeling a location

2019-06-30 Thread Richard Turner 

hi Juan,
Try Lazarillo.
It is free, you can set favorites, and it has its own walking GPS mapping.
Of course, GPS accuracy can vary quite a bit, but it should be able to get you 
within 50 feet of a location, and maybe closer.

Re: GPS and Destination Direction

2019-03-14 Thread Richard Turner 

most of them do in my experience.
Google Maps, Apple Maps, MapQuest, etc.
That doesn't mean they always do it, or always get it right.
In my area, even numbers are on the south and west sides of the street. So if 
it tells me it's on the left side and I am heading east and it is an even 
number, I know it is wrong since odd numbers are on the north side.
So, I ignore what apps say and go by the address pattern where I live.
HTH,
Richard

Re: GPS outline

2019-02-12 Thread Richard Turner 

The only app I can think of that downloads the maps onto your phone is Nearby 
Explorer from American Printing House for the Blind. It is $79.99.
It may occasionally need a cell network; but by and large, it uses the GPS 
satellites and GPS receiver in the phone.
The maps for North America including Canada take a bit over 4 GB, but you can 
choose to only download US or Canada to save space.
I do not know about other countries.
HTH,
Richard

Re: GPS outline

2019-02-12 Thread Nimer Jaber 
Google Maps will actually give you walking directions as well. Although
most of these apps don't give as much as information as would be useful for
a blind person, nor should they be considered 100% accurate, as they may
not know about streets without sidewalks, dangerous intersections, and that
kind of thing.

thanks.

What is everyone's favorite GPS app they use specifically in conjunction 
with BlindSquare? So far I've just been using Google Maps; is there anything 
else I should consider? I've looked at Nearby Explorer, but it is way over 
my budget.

I use the Aftershokz Trekz Titanium bone conduction headphones. They do not

Re: GPS Apps with BlindSquare

My personal choice is Google Maps.  It is easy to flick through a route with 
Google Maps to figure out before you go if it is a good route.

Re: GPS get current address

2017-07-04 Thread Kelly Pierce 
Richard, no.  the Galileo satellite navigation system is a project of
the European Union that will be similar to the GPS system created by
the United States.   It is not an app or maps. Galileo became
operational in December 2016 with the activation of a few satellites.
The iPhone 7 contains a microchip that supports Galileo satellites but
until more satellites are in orbit and in operation few will
experience much benefit.  The much greater accuracy will be available
for those that pay a licensing fee.  It is unclear if handset
manufacturers will pay the fee for more accuracy or tell consumers to
by an external navigation receiver.  The Chinese are also creating a
satellite navigation system and it is like Galileo in the early stages
of deployment.

Apple is famous for focusing on the benifits of a product and not its
features. As Galileo was not available when the iPhone 7 launched and
the number of satellites is still small, the benefit to the end user
is also small which is why Apple is not talking about it.

Lelia,

I think what you are wanting to accomplish can be done with Ariadne, which 
is around $5 or $6 instead of the cost of BlindSquare or Nearby Explorer. 
Ariadne will not announce streets although it can give you an approximate 
address, But you can create custom points of interest easily.
Once you have created your points of interest you can bring focus to a point 
and you will get a clock face tracking announcement along with the 
approximate distance to the point. It does a good job of using the compass 
if you happen to lose internet connectivity.


One can also use the native maps apps with tracking with heading turned on, 
and this will announce major points of interest as well as street crossings.

I hope this helps.

Hi all, thanks Richard for the advice about both nearby explorer as well

am not a good traveler therefore I don't usually use any GPS or anything

put a point of interest in it? Does it give those kind of instructions? 
Like I said, I don't really even know how to use a GPS.  So this is all 
kind of new to me, I did once walk around using I think it was either 
aridne or blind square I don't remember and it was really cool how it

Re: GPS get current address

2017-07-03 Thread Paul Sandoval 
Lelia,

I think what you are wanting to accomplish can be done with Ariadne, which is 
around $5 or $6 instead of the cost of BlindSquare or Nearby Explorer. Ariadne 
will not announce streets although it can give you an approximate address, But 
you can create custom points of interest easily. 
Once you have created your points of interest you can bring focus to a point 
and you will get a clock face tracking announcement along with the approximate 
distance to the point. It does a good job of using the compass if you happen to 
lose internet connectivity. 

One can also use the native maps apps with tracking with heading turned on, and 
this will announce major points of interest as well as street crossings. 
I hope this helps.

RE: GPS get current address

2017-07-03 Thread Lelia 
Hi all, thanks Richard for the advice about both nearby explorer as well as 
Blind square.  I looked up about  both of them.  Here is my question, I am not 
a good traveler therefore I don't usually use any GPS or anything like that.  
So my questions is if I were to get blindsquare, how would I put a point of 
interest in it? Does it give those kind of instructions?  Like I said, I don't 
really even know how to use a GPS.  So this is all kind of new to me, I did 
once walk around using I think it was either aridne or blind square I don't 
remember and it was really cool how it would announce streets and such.

Thanks 

Lelia

Re: GPS get current address

2017-07-03 Thread Kelly Pierce 
The difference between Siri “Where am I” and paying for Nearby
Explorer is that the end user has the street numbers spoken in his ear
as they change when he walks down the street with or without sell
phone service or a data connection.  That’s amazing access worth
paying for!

Maybe someone has answered this already, but I am looking for an app
that will speak the address of the house/building I am currently
passing while I am out walking.

I know that nearby explorer probably has this capability, but I would
like to start with something free if possible.

The landmarks I can find with my cane are minimal in our neighborhood,
and as I go walking  it would be helpful to know at least roughly
where I am :-)

Re: GPS Apps

2017-05-19 Thread Ed Worrell 
I have used both the Seeing Eye GPS and the NearBy explorer applications on 
iOS. I find that the interface of the Seeing Eye is much more intuitive and 
less cluttered. I live in Montana (USA) and the Seeing Eye seems to have much 
more accurate readings for POI’s and gives me much better information whilst on 
route. I do how ever love using the NearBy Explorer on my BrailleNote Touch as 
it works amazing on Android.

BlindSquare has actions you can choose from on the fly when you press the play/ 
answer button on a headset. This is convenient when the iPhone is inside your 
pocket while BlindSquare is in use.

Hello,
I tried out Seeing Eye GPS today, and experienced some issues that make me not 
want to purchase this app. Here is what I noticed, and if there are 
work-arounds, please let me know:

  *   Lack of Customization: This app seems to not allow me to choose what I 
want announced when... it allows me to view information, but the interface is 
busy and unnecessarily clunky in my opinion.
  *   The announcements don't happen when the device is in my pocket as the app 
says they should... I do have background setting turned on. Even when the 
device is unlocked, on a bus the app missed every other street or more at 
times. And when walking around, results were not much better. I did like 
intersection descriptions though...

“Whenever anyone asks for a feature” is a pretty generic statement. I’m sure 
they receive requests for improvements and new features all the time and I’m 
sure at least some of these have been implemented, the app is updated on a 
regular bases and I know for sure when it first came out just about everybody 
was asking for custom POI’s and that has been a feature now for a while.

Have you written directly to Sendero’s support to report the issues you are

Their direct support Email is

I know they value feedback and they may have a suggestion or they may ask you

Hello,

How are you able to get it to reliably announce, say, intersections? How well 
does it do at providing timely directions when walking or in a vehicle? My 
concern is mostly usability, not as much who funds it, also I would disagree 
with the statement the Seeing Eye is "wealthy?.

Thanks.

2017-05-16 Thread Sieghard Weitzel 
We all have different requirements as well as expectations, I basically always 
use a headset of some sort, typically the Apple Earpods, when I am out and 
about so I don’t have to touch my phone to ask SIRI a quick question, just have 
to push and hold for a moment the centre button of the remote on the headset.
I just had a look and I don’t recall that sub menu button being there before 
the last update, but here I agree that they could label this as “More Info” or 
something like that. As for the map, I am blind so it never occurred to me to 
even want to use it, if I want a map to explore by touch Apple Maps is not bad 
for that. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying the Seeing Eye app is the greatest 
there is, any app can always be better, but it does work as advertised for me 
and seems to give consistent information which I find is usually accurate. I 
have used it on busses in Vancouver and it usually announced cross streets when 
the bus was just before it got to the intersection which to me is when it makes 
sense, I don’t want to hear it too early and I don’t want to hear it when the 
bus is already half way across.

Regards,
Sieghard

Hello,

When I am traveling, I do not wish to pull my phone out of my pocket to ask 
Siri about my location when, at minimum, the app ought to give me intersection 
announcements and POI's as advertised, and I have found that this is very 
spotty. I should say that the places where this was tested get excellent GPS 
reception, and the device used is an iPhone 7ing

Also, the unlabeled item is in the location tab... It states "submenu button" 
which, in my mind, needs a description about what is contained in that menu... 
and the map is completely useless for a voiceover user.

Thanks.

from that I don’t care too much if it tells me every 5 seconds that I’m on so 
and so street since I usually know what street I’m on and if I want on demand 
information I just ask SIRI “What is my current location” and it tells me the 
address with street name or an address range with street name.
Also, you mentioned an unlabelled button, can you explain where it is as I’d 
like to take a look as I don’t recall one.

Hello,
I tried out Seeing Eye GPS today, and experienced some issues that make me not 
want to purchase this app. Here is what I noticed, and if there are 
work-arounds, please let me know:

  *   Lack of Customization: This app seems to not allow me to choose what I 
want announced when... it allows me to view information, but the interface is 
busy and unnecessarily clunky in my opinion.
  *   The announcements don't happen when the device is in my pocket as the app 
says they should... I do have background setting turned on. Even when the 
device is unlocked, on a bus the app missed every other street or more at 
times. And when walking around, results were not much better. I did like 
intersection descriptions though...
  *   The frequency of updates was every 15 seconds. My phone got warm, and I 
often did not hear information... this is similar to the above, but 15 seconds 
can be a long time to walk if you are a fast walker before you receive accurate 
information.
  *   Lack of information: I don't see where I can get lat/long.
