New iPad owner with questions

Hi. I bought an iPad Air 5th Generation today. I have been using VoiceOver for many years on the iPhone, but don't have much mileage on the iPad. I think my main question so far is this. I know that one's VoiceOver and other settings migrate between devices and iCloud. While this is good on

RE: Looking for accessible GPS App

Thom, thank you. I believe that good maps does that also. I think I will try this app too. I found that sometimes it is nice to use different apps at times. Andy and Leroy -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com On Behalf Of Thom Spittle Sent: Wednesday, March 22, 2023 2:54

Unfortunatelyy, this problem usually means that the voice you were using has crashed. As far as I know there’s not really a way of stopping it from happening. Sent from my iPhone On 22 Mar 2023, at 20:20, Star Gazer wrote:  Hi guys. I was going through some pictures to send to someone and

I would try GoodMaps Outdoors. It is free and has very good intersection descriptions. Richard, USA.“What we think or what we know or what we believe is in the end of little consequence. The only thing of consequence is what we do” ~ John RuskinMy web site: https://www.turner42.comOn Mar 22, 2023,

Iphone randomly switched voices

Hi guys. I was going through some pictures to send to someone and my phone went from the Tom voice to the Samantha voice for no reason. I got it back to Tom but I have no idea how or why this happened. Any ideas? -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.

Re: Looking for accessible GPS App

Hi And, since you already have blindsquare, you may not need it. However, what I like about it is that as you are walking down the road, it will tell you the house numbers as you pass. Only the house numbers. Then, if you change streets, it will tell you the new street, And then the address is

Re: Looking for accessible GPS App

There are so many GPS items which are accessible depending on the features you want or need. Apple maps and Google are two free ones. Damn, $4/$5 ain't a whole pot of money; lunch is likely more expensive, or most drinks at a bar, and don't even mention cigarettes and government sponsored

RE: Looking for accessible GPS App

Hi Thom, is that app Ariadne good and or better than Blind Square or good maps? I have Blind Square but never tried the one you are talking about. I looked it up in the app store and it costs $4.99 Just not sure if I would benefit with it. Thoughts? Andy and Leroy -Original Message-

GPS Apps That Will Announce Street Names

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

Re: Looking for accessible GPS App

Hi Terri. Like I mentioned in another post, I recommend “Ariadne GPS.” You will have to use sighted assistance to set up the original route but you can add Points of Interest along the way that mark cross walks, streets, doors, beginnings of sidewalks and anything else that fits your fancy.

Re: Accessible GPS apps and bread crumbs

Yes, I was talking about your post. I just checked in the App Store, and it was there. Several years ago, it was not in the App Store, and they did not update the app when Apple made a shift to the 64-bit programs. But all I had to do is re-download, and my points of interest were there. At

Hi Tom. I removed the original posts so I don’t know it you are responding to my suggestion of “Ariadne GPS.” If you are, I use the app frequently and it’s still available in the App Store. Since you can keep all of your POIs, I enjoy going back and seeing how far that Bed and Breakfast is the

Re: Accessible GPS apps and bread crumbs

When all else fails I return to my good ole faithful “Ariadne GPS.” It does one thing very well; direct you to a point of interest you have entered. Initially you do not need the internet or a maps application. It will give you direction an distance to a POI no matter where you are in the

RE: Getting started with Blind Square

BlindSquare is not a turn-by-turn navigation app, as you have figured out. Yu an search for a business or address, and once found, you will find an option to begin a route, then you will have a choice of which navigation app to use. You can leave BlindSquare running in the background when the

Getting started with Blind Square

Hi, I just downloaded Blind Square and am a little overwhelmed by all the options. I have a couple of questions that hopefully will get me started. When I decided to get Blind Square I thought it would work in a similar way to Apple Maps or Good Maps Outdoors. After reading some of the
