New iPad owner with questions

[Wayne Merritt]

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 paper, is it possible 
to make settings changes on the iPad that are different from the settings I 
have on my iPhone? An example is the screen orientation. I have it set to 
portrait on my phone, but want to experiment with landscape on the iPad with 
the larger screen. 

Kind regards, 

Wayne Merritt

RE: Getting started with Blind Square

Hi, here’s a Youtube audio which may help.

Subject: 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 manual, it seems 
that Blind Square works in conjunction with Apple Maps and not in place of it.  
So, what do I need to do to use them together?

 

Second, I bought Blind Square because I want to explore routes and destinations 
starting from a location different than my actual location.  My wife and I are 
buying a house in a different town.  I’d like to figure out what businesses are 
in the area of our new house.  I’d like to figure out the location of 
particular types of businesses such as drug stores or florists (our anniversary 
is coming soon) to know which I can reach by walking or by public 
transportation.  

 

Any pointers to get me started would be much appreciated.

 

Ralph

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.

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 only just the numbers. 
It doesn’t babble a lot. It does not do turn by turn directions, it just helps 
you keep track of where you are and what street you’re crossing.

 I am looking for something that can show me what is around.

 I am wanting to be able to walk to the rec center that is only about a 4th

 However, I don't know if this is even possible.
 
 
 Any thoughts, or suggestions are much appreciated.

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.

Re: Looking for accessible GPS App

[doug parisian]

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 weed!

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

Hello everyone,


I was wondering, is there an accessible GPS App that I could use with my iPhone?


It doesn't matter so much if it is free, or if I have to pay for it.


I am looking for something that can show me what is around.

But also, a way to know where possible sidewalks are. But I am uncertain as to 
whether or not such a thing exists.


I am wanting to be able to walk to the rec center that is only about a 4th of a 
mile from my home.

However, I don't know if this is even possible.


Any thoughts, or suggestions are much appreciated.


Thank you,


Terri

GPS Apps That Will Announce Street Names

[lynda.ingraham]

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, 

 

Lynda

Re: Looking for accessible GPS App

[Thomas Frank]

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.  When sidewalks 
don’t line up properly, it’s easy to mark locations on both sides of the 
street.

Re: Accessible GPS apps and bread crumbs

[Thom Spittle]

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 least a couple of them 
were. Thanks for letting me know about this. I think it will be a great 
replacement for Soundscape.

 Hi guys,
 I’m trying to find an accessible GPS application for the iPhone that will 
 offer really easy to use bread crumb features for an older gentleman who 
 is not really tech savvy. He lives on a farm that is approximately 60 
 acres in size. He needs an app in which he can navigate between specific 
 landmarks on his property and be given directions or indicators if he 
 wanders astray. This would be, for example, reaching a water tower from 
 his house or finding his way back to his house from another part of his 
 property.
 
  If anyone can suggest a specific app that will fit the bill, please let 
 me know. Also, if one can give pointers that I can pass along to the 
 person, I’d appreciate that as well.

How long does the battery on the newer rechargeable one last? Also, how do you

Hi. I found an old Bluetooth keyboard, which must be from around 2010. Does 
anyone recall which button turns it on? This was the Bluetooth keyboard which 
took I think 2 AA batteries, so we're going back a ways. Also, does anyone know 
how I might know if it is on? I am totally blind.

Re: Accessible GPS apps and bread crumbs

[Thomas Frank]

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 world. I believe 
it costs around $20.

RE: Getting started with Blind Square

[Richard Turner]

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 other app, Google 
or Apple, takes over and blindsquare will continue giving you updates.  That 
can get a little busy.

 

As for exploring an area, search for the address of your new house, then keep 
flicking through the options to Simulate This Location.

Once you start the simulation, you can use the various categories to explore 
what is around yu.

 

It takes some patience and trial and error, but works quite well.

 

Note, the data may or not be up to date.  Sometimes businesses go out or change 
names and the digital map takes a long time to get updated.

 

Enjoy,

Subject: 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 manual, it seems 
that Blind Square works in conjunction with Apple Maps and not in place of it.  
So, what do I need to do to use them together?

 

Second, I bought Blind Square because I want to explore routes and destinations 
starting from a location different than my actual location.  My wife and I are 
buying a house in a different town.  I’d like to figure out what businesses are 
in the area of our new house.  I’d like to figure out the location of 
particular types of businesses such as drug stores or florists (our anniversary 
is coming soon) to know which I can reach by walking or by public 
transportation.  

 

Any pointers to get me started would be much appreciated.

 

Ralph
