Re: Detection of the light sources - new iPhone app
Just wondering, are you planning on developing a version of your apps for android as well? Original message: Hello, Our existing application SeeingAssistant-Home has many functionality including detection of light sources. Sometimes user don't want buy all features in one application, so we released single application called SeeingAssistant-Home with only this functionality.

It is a separate part of the application SeeingAssistant-Home functionality operates as a single application. SeeingAssistant-Light allows blind people to detect the light sources. During operation, the application generates a characteristic, continuous sound. The tone of that sound depends on light intensity – the more intense light, the higher the tone. User can locate the light source by turning camera when the sound has the highest pitch – camera then points to the brightest point. Sound can be turned on and off by triple-tap on VoiceOver mode. User can not only check whether light in the room is turned on, but also whether some electronic device with display is turned on, or even whether LEDs on electrical device is turned on or off.

Re: How to Reboot an IOS Device
There is no direct restart. If the device totally hangs, you can hold the power and home buttons for about 10 seconds to force a reset. Otherwise, to restart, you will need to shut down, then turn on the device again.

Yes, this is the app I use if I want to listen on my IOS or android devices. There is a free and paid version of the app, doing a search for nascar during a race will usually find it.

Re: iPhone 5s and older SIM cards?
You could use a sim cutter to cut the sim card, but a much better approach is to simply go to an att store and switch to a nano sim card. You will be able to keep the same phone number, they just need to update your account with the new sim's serial number. You can get adapters that allow you to use smaller sim cards in phones that use a larger size. I actually have a nano sim, and I have adapters that will allow the card to work in phones that use micro or full size sim cards. Had to get the adapters on ebay, surprisingly most cell phone stores don't carry them, I guess most people don't swap their sim card between phones very much. Original message: Hi all. I have an iPhone 3GS which I am looking to upgrade from. Is it possible to make a standered SIM card work in say the iPhone 5s gfor example? If not, how hard would it be to get a number transferred to a nano sim as I think that is what is Bering used. I have ATT as my carrier.

Re: iPhone 5s and older SIM cards?
The nano sims are actually even smaller than micro SD cards, really just the area for the connection with a bit of extra space around it to prevent shorting. I don't think a sim card could get any smaller than the nano. Original message: No! I have just offered simm cutters to make the mini or whatever it is in the 4/4s; but the microSimm is thinner too; so cutting down an existing one stil wouldn't help.

Re: where will you purchase the iPhone 5s
Not sure if I will get it, if I do it certainly will not be right away since I just got the 5 a few months ago. But, for me, the only way to go is to get an unlocked phone. Phones that are tied to a carrier are far too restrictive, you pay a bit more for a phone that is unlocked but it's well worth it. If you add up the cost of your monthly bill with a 2 year contract, it's actually higher. Original message: Hi all. Just curious about what different people will do when it comes time to purchasing the iPhone 5s. Oh, and before I go on, just a point to note, the s in the name 5s is lower-case because if it's a capital S it looks too much like the number 5 visually, so Apple made it a small s on purpose. So, the correct way of writing it is iPhone 5s. Anyway, since you cannot pre-order the 5s, will you go to your local phone carrier store, or to the Apple store? I'm just curious as to whether people will go this Friday and wait long lines like Black Friday in the US, or if they will wait a few days until the lines get less. I'm pretty excited myself because this will be my first time getting a new phone the day it comes out. In the past I've gotten it when it was an afterthought, or in the case of the 4s, when it had been out for about 4 months already. usually I wait in case there are initial problems found with the first batch of hardware, but this time around I'm diving in with my eyes closed as the saying goes. Although all members are welcome to respond, I'm hoping that only people who are getting the 5s will respond to this thread since I'm not asking about whether it's a good idea, or if the 4s is better, or if we should stay with what we have. This is because there are other viphone threads which have already covered this. Cheers. -- Raul A. Gallegos Soft kitty, Warm kitty, Little ball of fur.

Re: Touch Id's possible weaknesses
If I had the iphone 5s, I would probably not use this feature, it's still very new and I would be concerned about how reliable it was. Original message: Hi all, Here's an interesting article I just bumped into in regards to the new IOS7's Touch ID. The article concerns what touch id can and cannot deliver. See below for link to article URL: Can Touch ID be hacked? Yes, fingerprint sensors have been around for at least two decades and have been hacked before. So, while Touch ID hasn't been hacked yet, that probably owes more to the device not being publicly available yet than anything else. As the iPhone 5S proliferates, expect creative and disturbing methods of hacking the fingerprint sensor to arise. Hopefully, would-be thieves won't start carrying cigar cutters around. Does Touch ID use two-factor authentication? No. Touch ID is not considered two-factor authentication because there is no second authorization technique that's required to use it. It's possible that Apple could expand the feature in the future to include stronger security, but one of the appeals of Touch ID, like the Windows 8 picture login, is that it requires the security input only once. There are still many questions that remain about Touch ID's implementation, including how people will use it and how developers will incorporate it. A big unknown for Apple's bottom line is whether businesses will consider this safer for the bring your own device movement, and demand that their employees have it. And it's not going to eliminate passwords -- at least, not on its own. Apple is not the first major smartphone maker to incorporate a biometric sensor into a device. Motorola did it with the Atrix but it bombed.

IOS 7 impressions
Hey everyone, I went ahead and updated to IOS 7 last night, update went fine, I do need to redownload the high quality voice though, Samantha's compact voice drives me nuts. For the most part, getting around is the same, I think there are some new visual looks but of course that won't matter for our use. One thing I do like is the new app switcher, it now tells you if a program is running or not and closing apps is easier. I also like the new ring tones. There are some things I was really hoping would be included though that are not, and admitedly that's kind of disappointing. There is still no way to change your default keyboard that I know of. So if we want to use fleksy, we must write our text within the app, then copy it or use one of the other functions. Similarly, if I get a text message and want to reply using fleksy, I must switch applications. There is also still no file management. This is something every other operating system, whether mobile or desktop provides. There is no way to just browse the content of the device. I know there is an app called phone drive that provides this somewhat, but it's very limited compared to other platforms. Also, copying content from a computer is still much more difficult than it needs to be, again, other platforms make this so much easier. Finally, as far as I know, there is no way to install other TTS engines and use them system wide. Don't get me wrong, I like my iphone 5, but it's things like this that still make me use android a bit more. I'm not saying I want IOS to become android, but what I do want is the ability to customize my device exactly the way I want it, and easy access to copy content. I would say the IOS 7 update is evolutionary rather than revolutionary, definitely a good update, but still lacking some basic things. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

Re: Explanation to all of you who are confused about the iOS 7 TTS voices
I don't like any of the compact voices, they sound like they are trapped in a box. Higher quality voices take up more space of course, but it's worth it, hands down. Original message: Thank you for sharing. I absolutely cannot stand the compact British English voice. Sounds like Daniel with well I don't know, cinucitis maybe! Lol! But the one compact voice I do like is Irish English. Not really tried the Australian and U.S. English voices yet in compact mode. On 20/09/2013 00:22, Adi Kushnir wrote: Hi all, As one who uses the new Nuance Vocalizer Expressive voices to develop with them for other platforms, I wanna to explain to you all, what are the iOS 7 voices and which of them are being used when. So, let's start from sirie: The new and better Sirie voices are not Vocalizer Expressive voices. These are custom voices that Nuance or some other company makes a specially for Apple, I think it's Nuance because Apple always works with them on TTS related stuff. Now, let's move on to VoiceOver: In iOS 6, Apple used the Nuance Vocalizer for automotive version 5.5 platform for it's screen reader and Sirie. Since Nuance stopped supporting and developing Vocalizer for Automotive, and released Vocalizer Expressive, in iOS 7, Apple has swiched to using these voices for VoiceOver. Most of them sound the same as the previous generation of Vocalizer, such as Samantha Premium for example, they just read longer texts better. The Vocalizer Expressive platform contains some new and very expressive voices, but Apple decided to use the ones that wer already available, because they are still offerd with Vocalizer Expressive, or VE for short. Some other facts that thanks to them you can know it's the new Expressive version, are the bad compact voices, a specially Daniel, and the new voices for some languages such as Arabic, they have replaced Maged with Tarik for this language because Nuance doesn't offer Maged any more. Vocalizer Expressive has a Hebrew voice as well, so I hope Apple will add it soon too:) (Smile). Hope now you understand it better..

Re: no unlocked 5s when ordering from the Apple Store

Re: no unlocked 5s when ordering from the Apple Store
I think this is the case with t-mobile, but I've always heard that if you get the att version of the phone, even at the apple store for full price, it's still locked to att which makes paying full price forthe phone pointless. When I got the iphone 5 from an apple store, there were separate phones that were specificly unlocked. I'm not sure if there is a difference with the CDMA version, or if it's all the same hardware, but whether an iphone is locked is actually determined by how Apple has it labeled in their servers. I'm not sure why Apple would be concerned about it, if people are paying full price for an unlocked phone, it should not matter to them, on the other hand, carriers do have too much control over things at least in the states. I think in Europe, there are more restrictions on what carriers can and cannot do, and hopefully eventually that will happen here as well. Original message: This is correct. In the US, you now have several options for buying an unlocked phone: 1) Buy the t-mobile, device only phone on apple.com. You'll pay the full price, and it will come with a t-mobile sim already., but it's fully unlocked and you can use whatever sim you want with it. 2) Go to an Apple store and buy, device only at full/unsubsidized price, either the ATT phone or the Tmobile one. You can also buy the Verizon model at full price, device only, from an Apple store in the US. The advantage is that you have access to the CDMA bands in addition to the GSM bands. However, I'm not sure if you must activate the phone on Verizon before you can use it. Again, if you buy device only from Apple, your phone is unlocked. If you buy from a phone carrier, even at full price, your phone will be locked. Apple really doesn't advertise this stuff, probably because of agreements with carriers, the general public not knowing/caring what unlocked means, and to prevent people from buying tons of device only ATT/Tmobile phones from Apple stores and selling them overseas.

Re: Apple now forcing iOS 6 holdouts to upgrade to iOS 7.
At least for what I use my iphone for, there really was not any learning curve at all. The main difference I noticed was in the app switcher, you swipe up with 3 fingers to close an app rather than double tapping and holding it. Other than that, it's pretty much the same as before. As far as forcing you to update, ever since I can remember, when there is an update, it is automatically downloaded, but you can choose whether to install it. If you choose not to install it, I don't know of a way to delete the downloaded file though.

Re: iPhone 5 carrier lock question
Actually, the verizon iphone has GSM capabilities, the only question is whether it will allow you to use the att sim card, if indeed the phone is not sim locked, it should work. Original message: Donald, Unfortunately it's not possible to use a Verizon phone on the ATT network. The two carriers use different radio technologies. Of the big four carriers Verizon and Sprint use CDMA technology for cellular service while ATT and T-Mobile use GSM. It's not even possible to switch the phones between the two CDMA carriers.

He is not interested in an international unlock, he merely wants to switch to A T and T. Incidentally, since the 5 came out less than a year ago, I suspect that he is still under contract to Verizon; so that may be an issue.

Re: About iOS 7, is it really so bad? was: Apple now forcing iOS 6 holdouts to upgrade to iOS 7.
I checked out the 5 s and the 5 c at an Apple store. As far as the outside, the 5 s looks exactly like the 5. The one difference is that there is a ring around the home button for the finger print scanner. The 5 c is rather interesting. Since it's plastic, I was wondering how it would feel, and it actually is quite good. Definitely well built. One thing I don't like is that other countries get the unlocked version of the 5 s right away, but, just as in the past, the unlocked version of this phone will not be in the Apple stores for a while. Original message: Hi Sieghard, thanks for this! yes, the 5S sounds pretty sweet! Can't wait to check out the camera and M7. As far as the iOS 7 UI, no, I sure don't think Apple will do a 180, but it would be nice if they can offer some sort of customization which might at least harken back to a more contoured, textured iOS 6-esque UI or do something to liven up the flat look they have now. :) I've got to tell you it really does make some 3rd party apps look super ugly! Not kidding! lol! Apple did quite a bit of customization on the UI to get their own apps to look like they do. If you use the standard developer tools apps look pretty lousy in the latest OS. Previously if one used the standard UI elements when designing apps, 3rd party apps would look just as good as Apple's own. Not anymore! lol! They basically look like a squared-off child's line drawing. -And not in the good way! lol! Anyway, enough of that. As I said, I'm looking forward to the camera and M7 coprocessor in the 5S.

The 5S by the way gets pretty awesome reviews and apparently totally kicks butt in all the benchmark tests. It is also not to be overlooked that Apple sold 9 million iPhones worldwide on the first weekend, some of them apparently are still in chanel which means not yet in the hands of the end user, and they do have a couple of large new carriers, but given the shortages in many places it does sound like a pretty impressive number.

Hey everyone, a little something for you to check out. I think the person who did the voice print for Samantha may be a woman named Susan Bennett. I don't know this for sure, but she has done voice overs for several companies.

Re: Tim Cook Being Sued over Automatic iOS 7 Updates
I don't think the issue is with apps. The issue is that the iphone automatically downloads IOS updates without asking. It does not automatically install them, but it does download them and that space is taken on the device until it's installed. I do think this should be a user's choice, but is it worth sueing over? I don't think so, there are much more important things in the world to worry about. Original message: Jonathan, Or anyone for that matter, can someone explain what on Earth is wrong here? You can turn off auto updates in Settings/iTunes App Store, so what exactly is all the fuss about? Am I missing something?

Re: the best GPS App

Re: Running more than one GPS app at once
Using blind square with a navigation app works well. I typically use blind square and let that run in the background and use google maps or motionx GPS for guidance. Original message: Hi all, For those who find yourselves running more than one GPS app at once, I'm wondering about a couple of things. • Do you run more than one app so you can easily switch between them or do you run more than one app because you want one to run completely in the background, or for some other reason? I.E. Perhaps one gives you some background functionality that the other does not? • What are your favorite apps to run together? • what features / functions of the above apps do you find that complement each other nicely? I.E. Does one app announce cross streets whereas another app announces POIs? etc. Thanks so much to you all and have a lovely day!

What I have now does not add any bulk to the iPhone, and I do like that.

I'm enjoying it so far. I bought the Apple case. Big mistake. It wasn't worth the $30. Anyway, I'm looking for a case that will protect the entire phone, but won't add any size or weight to the phone. I love the size of the iPhone as it is.

barns and noble nook app
Hey everyone, does anyone know if this app is useable on IOS? There are some e books I want to get, and, though I use IOS somewhat, Android is my primary platform. I can get the books through the amazon kindle or the nook. Unfortunately, the Kindle app is not accessible on android, though it is on IOS. On the other hand, the Nook app is accessible on Android. If only there could be one format of books that worked with all apps, but of course that's not the case. Anyway, I'm wondering if I purchased these books through Barns and Noble, will I be able to read them on IOS? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

Awesome, then that's the way I will go, since this will allow me to read the books on both platforms.

Re: barns and noble nook app
You probably could, but you cannot purchase books within the app the way you can on the android app. This is because Apple requires any purchases to go through them so they get their portion. If an app developer does not want to do this, they are not permitted to direct users to other places within the app. One of the many restrictions IOS has that Android does not.

Re: barns and noble nook app
Got the nook app and it's working great. The pause between pages takes a little getting used to, but it's no big deal. This is an example of very good development, the app is equally accessible on the 2 top mobile platforms. One difference is that on IOS, the app uses voiceover to read the text, while on android, the app is self voicing and sends the text to the TTS engine directly, although you can still use talkback to read parts of the text. This leaves Amazon without excuse for making the app accessible on android, and until they do, I will get my books from barnes and noble.

Re: Fleksy Keyboard Makes Its Way To iOS Through Third-Party Apps
What would be even better is if Apple allowed other keyboards to be installed and set as the default. This is going to require the developer of each app to add these features. On Android for example, you can set fleksy as your default keyboard and it automatically appears in any app when entering text. Original message: Hi, I've seen this happen in my favorite Google Voice app called GV Connect, and it's also available in Blind Square. I believe also there is a note taking app which uses the Fleksy SDK for that access. So, to me this is a step forward in the right direction. I hope more developers continue to do this for those who really like Fleksy. After all, it's not just a blindness friendly app. -- Raul A.

Re: In my case, the Seeing Eye GPS app is quite expensive.

Re: In my case, the Seeing Eye GPS app is quite expensive.
Also, most carriers require you to have a data plan these days. And, there are lots of things that can be done by having data on your device, it would be far too limited without it. Original message: Such is the way of life. Some things we can afford and some we can not. 6 years ago I bought a maestro /Trekker, which was the only GPS solution for visually impaired people, and I paid fifteen hundred dollars for it.

It’s just to demonstrate that what’s not too expensive for some can be quite expensive in other cases. My request to Sendero is to have the GPS information stored on the iDevice. Earlier this year I canceled my data plan for my iPhone to save money. I pay $25 for three months of phone service. If I were to reaquire a data plan, my only reason for doing so would be to use the Seeing Eye app. For most of you, who already have a data plan, you would be spending just for the cost of the app, and your data plan can be used for other purposes. In my case, however, the app would cost me something like $700, because I’d have to purchase a 2 year contract from ATT, plus the cost of a minimum of a year for the app, and if I decide I don’t want the app after the first year, I’m stuck with an extra year of data that I probably wouldn’t have gotten in the first place. That’s my take on things. Again, I’m not complaining, I’m just throwing another thought on things. I probably won’t be purchasing the app for a while, but I probably will get it, as well as the 2 gig a month data plan. I can find other uses for the data besides GPS, so it will be worth it for me.

Re: external battery for the iPhone 4S
The most protective cases are probably the otter box, but they are too hard to work with, I tend to swap my sim card between my iphone and my android phones quite a bit, so I need something that I can take apart fairly quickly.

Re: Unlocked phones [was Re: In my case, the Seeing Eye GPS app is quite expensive.]
I prefer unlocked phones too, GSM is much more flexible since your account information is stored on the sim card, and this can easily be moved to different phones. This is why I don't like CDMA carriers like verizon and sprint.

Re: How do you restore to a previous version?
In order to do this, you would need to have the apps backed up in itunes, not sure if icloud lets you do that, but you could use itunes to restore the previous version of an app. Really though, that does not deal with the real issue, it just works around it. If a new version of an app has accessibility issues, contacting the developer to let them know is the best thing to do. Original message: I was reading a message in which someone stated that they would restore to a previous version of June in Radio if the new one did not work. I understand that the new version does work, however, I was curious with any app how you restore to a previous version? This is generally speaking, not specific to the tune in. App. Thanks.

best main stream GPS app
Hey everyone. Been playing with 5 of the main stream GPS apps, navigon, tomTom, garmin, motionx GPS drive and magellan roadmate. I'd be curious to know what everyone else's favorite app is. For me, it's motionx GPS drive, hands down. It seems to provide the best instructions, and has good support for walking roots. Next would be the Garmin app I think. I would probably rank TomTom and Navigon next and put Magellan roadmate at the bottom, it has not been updated for a while and crashes when trying to do a google search. There's also another app, Telenav GPS, but it's not very useable because most of the buttons are unlabeled. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

Re: best main stream GPS app
I think motion x's instructions are also the most detailed, and I like the fact that you can always getthe current instruction spoken. Actually, the garmin app will do this too, but I think motion x's instructions are a bit better. Also, with motion x, you don't have to go in to settings to change between driving and walking.

Re: Various GPS apps on sale right now Friday, July 12, 2013
Out of these 3, I think Garmin is the most accessible, but I still think motion x gps drive is the best main stream navigation app. Original message: Hello all. Last night and today I have been looking at several apps in the store news app. This is one of those apps which gives me information on apps which are free or at a reduced price. The apps are divided into categories. In the navigation category there are several apps which are on sale right now. Tom-tom, Navigon, and Garmin GPS apps are all on sale right now. You have to of course choose the one that's appropriate for your region, however I wanted to pass this along in case some of you are waiting for some of these apps to be on sale so you can purchase them at a decent price.

Re: Various GPS apps on sale right now Friday, July 12, 2013
Ya, with the garmin and navigon apps, you can also choose what maps to download, with navigon it's by state, but with the garmin app, it's divided in to regions, and several states are in more than one region which makes choosing the best region more difficult. Personally I don't mind downloading the maps as I go, I'm sure there are some places that don't have good cell coverage, but it's very rare and uncommon.

Last night and today I have been looking at several apps in the store news app. This is one of those apps which gives me information on apps which are free or at a reduced price. The apps are divided into categories. In the navigation category there are several apps which are on sale right now. Tom-tom, Navigon, and Garmin GPS apps are all on sale right now. You have to of course choose the one that's appropriate for your region, however I wanted to pass this along in case some of you are waiting for some of these apps to be on sale so you can purchase them at a decent price. All you should have to do is bring up the app store and type in the name of the app of your preference. Thanks and good luck.

Re: GPS on sale follow up
Motionx gps just provides visual instructions. The drive version provides free voice guidance for 30 days, then you can purchase a package to continue using it, so you want the drive app. Original message: Pursuant to the message about GPS apps on sale, I went to the app store and found Navigon U S A for $39.95. I then searched for Motionx and found two apps, each of which was shown as being $0.99. What a difference! So my question is, just what is the difference between Motionx GPS and Motionx Drive?

Now, however, I am having difficulty. For example, if I attempt to search for KFI in Los Angeles, I can't figure out how to conduct the search. Also, although the scan button works, it doesn't seem to work in any kind of logical progression. For example, if I click on talk radio and then click on scan, the scan yields stations which are not necessarily talk stations. So please tell me just what I am missing.

Re: pod cast comparing nearby explorer and the sendero gps app
Yes, as I said in the pod cast, what is important to one person may not be to another, but at this point, nearby explorer is definitely more customizeable. I wish the seeing eye app would count down the distance to the next street, the way nearby explorer does. Glad you enjoyed it though, it was a fun show to do, and I got some exercise in the process, smile. Original message: Hi mike, thanks for the podcast. I found it interesting that the things you liked about nearby explorer were what I didn't like about it, and what you didn't like about the seeing eye app is what I really like about it. I used to use a human ware Trekker, and I always found it too verbose for my taste. I like the ability to shake the phone and get information on demand. But I do agree, I do not need to know my altitude or GPS accuracy. Also, I would like to be able to customize the seeing eye app like nearby explorer.. After listening to your podcast, I took my iPhone out for a walk. I did not set a route, but just started seeing eye and put it in my fanny pack's phone slot. As I walked around the neighborhood it told me of upcoming intersections, and if I wanted to know more I simply shook the fanny pack to get more details. One thing I noticed, seeing eye did not announce the street name once I turned onto a different street. That's something I would like to see in future updates.

Re: Battery case charging at the same time as phone?
I don't think this is the case. I usually let my battery get down to below 40 percent, then I flip the switch to charge it. Or, you can just let the phone use the juice pack battery first, then switch to its own battery, either way works. Original message: Thanks for them info. This brings me to an other question: I somehow remember having read somewhere that, if you leave the phone connected to a cable that is not charging it the battery is drained faster. So, if the phone is connected to the case but is not currently being charged, would this not affect the battery life of the phone? would be curious about your thoughts.

Re: battery draining with battery case
I have not seen this, I keep my iphone 5 in the mophie juice pack case all the time. If you are concerned, you can keep the battery in the case enabled and the phone will use that battery first and then will use its own battery. Original message: Hi, Did any of you using battery cases notice faster draining of phone battery when it is not actually being charged by the case? I think I see this after having received a battery case as a gift and am not sure if it is a coincidence. I am wondering also because in the user guide they caution against plugging the phone into a computer that is turned off since this might drain the battery rather than charge it.

pod cast comparing main stream IOS GPS apps
Hey everyone, some of you may remember a couple years ago that I did a comparison of the main stream gps apps on the iphone, apps such as motion x GPS, navigon, etc. I've thought about doing an updated one, especially since blind cool tech no longer exists, it would be on the blind geek zone web site. Of course, with the sendero gps app, it may be that blind users do not use these apps as much. I'm more than willing to do an updated comparison, it would be kind of fun, but was wondering how much interest people would have in this. Obviously there's no point in doing it if there is not a lot of interest, so thought I would ask first. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

Re: pod cast comparing main stream IOS GPS apps
Thanks for the kind words. If I do this one, it would be with 5 apps, the new google maps, navigon, garmin, TomTom, and motion x GPS drive. I know mapquest is also free but the interface in this app is difficult to work with and very confusing I think. For figuring out where you are, I would use blind square. This pod cast would mainly be for those who did not want to pay for the sendero app. I enjoy walking, so could get a bit of exercise with this one.

Re: pod cast comparing main stream IOS GPS apps
Actually Apple maps does not provide walking instructions, at least not in real time and that's what I would be focused on. All of these apps work well for driving directions, the real question is, how well would they work to assist a blind person who was trying to walk to a destination?

Re: pod cast comparing main stream IOS GPS apps
It's supposed to, there is an option to have voice guidance while walking, have not tried it yet though. Original message: Hi Mike. Does garmin provide navigation for walking. I bought it long ago, and I really like the interface, but I never get garmin to work for walking. Best regards Annie. Den Jul 25, 2013 kl. 9:12 PM skrev Mike Arrigo n0...@charter.net: Thanks for the kind words. If I do this one, it would be with 5 apps, the new google maps, navigon, garmin, TomTom, and motion x GPS drive. I know mapquest is also free but the interface in this app is difficult to work with and very confusing I think. For figuring out where you are, I would use blind square. This pod cast would mainly be for those who did not want to pay for the sendero app. I enjoy walking, so could get a bit of exercise with this one. Original message: Mike: Speaking for myself, I have found all of the podcasts you have undertaken to be among the most valuable I know of. I also realize that this is a big undertaking, so I will offer my production and editing skills, which are admittedly a bit rusty, to make the task less burdensome.

changing between walking and driving mode in the garmin app
Hey everyone, for those who have the garmin app, how do you change the type of root? I have looked all over and cannot find it, you can choose settings for vehicle roots and walking roots, but when choosing a destination, their seems to be no way to choose the type of root the app creates. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

Re: pod cast comparing main stream IOS GPS apps
Some of them do store the maps locally, but use data plans for other things such as doing google and four square searches. So, these apps could be used without a data plan, but you would lose a lot of the benefit.

gps comparison pod cast
Hi everyone. Wow, thanks for all the messages, both on this list and personal expressing the desire for this pod cast. It's very inspiring, so here's what I will do. I will compare 5 of the most popular GPS apps, and also demonstrate using blind square to tell where you are. In some ways, blind square does some things the sendero app does not do, but it also makes an interesting comparison. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

gps comparison pod cast
Hi everyone, all righty. The pod cast is done and I submitted it, it will hopefully be available on the blind geek zone web site in a couple days. the competition ended up being 3 apps instead of 5, in TomTom, the options to do a google local search or foursquare search are no longer accessible. In the Garmin app, there seems to be no way to change to a walk root, but even at the default setting, the turns were not announced. The other odd, and perhaps amusing thing that happened was that blind square announced that there was a strip club about 300 feet away. Unless someone is running that out of an apartment, which I guess is possible, that's probably an incorrect label, it's pretty much all apartments in this area. Anyway, it was definitely a fun pod cast to do, and I hope everyone enjoys it once it's posted. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.
