Thank you.  I tried your suggestions and it worked.  The app is now on its own 
in the place where I wanted it to be.

  Hi robin,

   

  One really quick thing you can do is ask Siri “where am I.” I have used Siri 
in situations like yours. I also use Good Maps Outdoors. 

   

  I hope that helps!

  Subject: getting guidance while in an Uber

   

  Hi,

  Usually when I’m in an Uber or Lyft, the driver has audio guidance on and I 
can hear where we are, allowing me to feel like I know we’re going the way we 
should be. The other  night, I had a situation  where the driver did not have 
the audio on and we went a very different way than I’m used to. My sighted 
daughter was with me and she told me the road. I then opened Apple Maps and I 
could see that we were on that major road I knew. My daughter could also see 
the driver’s GPS and where he was being directed to turn. So, my question is, 
if I already have Uber or Lyft open, what other app makes sense to run to keep 
tabs on where we are?  Is just having Apple Maps open what you do or do you 
recommend something else?  I might have used soundscape in the past. I have 
BlindSquare, but I need to get in better practice of adjusting settings. In 
this case, I just wanted to know which road we were on and cross streets so 
that I knew if my safety was at risk.  

   

  Thoughts appreciated.

   

  Robin
