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

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

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,

GPS Apps That Will Announce Street Names

2023-03-22 Thread 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: Accessible GPS apps and bread crumbs

2023-03-22 Thread 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.

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.

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.

RE: Accessible GPS apps and bread crumbs

Too bad sound scape is being discontinued. It might’ve worked in this case.

Subject: Accessible GPS apps and bread crumbs

 

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.

   Thank you everyone. I have a few suggestions here so I will pass them along 
to the person and try to figure out which one would be easiest for him to use 
in his situation.

directions and, if I recall correctly, distance to that location. I think 
holding the phone flat and pointed ahead then tells you the compass direction

Several years ago I tried out MyWay Light. As I recall, one can set bread crumb 
points and name them as one wishes. Then one can select any named point and get 
directions and, if I recall correctly, distance to that location. I think 
holding the phone flat and pointed ahead then tells you the compass direction 
to turn to for proper orientation. I’m probably off in some details but it 
seemed very useful and simple at the time. I don’t know what the “light” 
version has for limitations, perhaps it is the number of points one can store. 
Hopefully it’s still in the App Store.

HTH,

Jeff

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

Re: Accessible GPS apps and bread crumbs

2023-03-16 Thread 'Sandy Tomkins' via VIPhone 
this sounds like a perfect job for NaviLens! The app is free and it works with QR codes specially adapted to be easily easily found by your phone. The codes are free, but do need to be printed from an email attachment. if they are to be used outside, and it sounds like they would, they should be either laminated or printed onto vinyl paper, also readily available from the net. T this might sound like a bit of extra work, and it may be that your friend would need some help getting set up, but these codes are really reliable and absolutely accurate I use them, I don't have 60 acres I only have one, but it's enough to get lost in and there are drop offs and stairs outside, so I like to use these to give me nice landmarks and indications of where I am, they will also guide me to them if I need it.

RE: Accessible GPS apps and bread crumbs

2023-03-15 Thread Jeff Samco 
Several years ago I tried out MyWay Light. As I recall, one can set bread crumb 
points and name them as one wishes. Then one can select any named point and get 
directions and, if I recall correctly, distance to that location. I think 
holding the phone flat and pointed ahead then tells you the compass direction 
to turn to for proper orientation. I’m probably off in some details but it 
seemed very useful and simple at the time. I don’t know what the “light” 
version has for limitations, perhaps it is the number of points one can store. 
Hopefully it’s still in the App Store.

HTH,

Jeff

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.

Just to be picky, GoodMaps is written as one word with a capital G and capital 
M.
Here is the app store link:

CAUTION: External Sender


Exactly what happens when you try to use the dot Open command, which 
normally pops up the screen with the files from your Dropbox MBraille 
folder?


I have had different issues over the years with MBraille and Dropbox working 
together. I can say that everything is working fine for me running ios 14.4.


Other than deleting and reinstalling your apps, you can also try this, which 
solved my issue last time.


1, Make a backup of all of the files in your MBraille folder in Dropbox, 
moving them to a different location within Dropbox.

2, Delete the MBraille folder from Dropbox.
3, Within the MBraille app, turn off syncing with Dropbox, then clear it 
from your app switcher.
4, Start the MBraille app and turn back on syncing with Dropbox. MBraille 
should automatically create a new MBraille folder in Dropbox.
5, TYPE something in MBraille and save it so it will be saved to the 
MBraille folder in Dropbox. This is just testing to see if it works.
6, If the save is successful, then use the dot open command to see if you 
can open the file you just saved.
7, If both is successful, then you should be all set, so you can then copy 
and paste all of the files you use to have in the MBraille folder to the new 
one just created.


Hopefully this is helpful and will work!

Hi all,

Anyone knows what happened to mBraille support?
I sent messages to the feedback list and never got them or any replies. I 
did check the spam.


I also went to their contact form online and sent a message. But the page 
never gave a confirmation that it was received  nor did I hear back from 
them... Very sad to see this app flag like this.


My dropbox support stopped working. I uninstalled app and reinstalled with 
no luck. I also turned off and back on the db setting in the mBraille app.
So now I have no aliases, no syncing of documents and no way to reach out 
to developer...

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Ioana

RE: Talking GPS Apps

2021-02-11 Thread Richard Turner 
I think you will find that TomTom for a blind person is not a good choice, 
while Google Maps is more user friendly than Apple Maps, though both are fine.
I use Google Maps because it is so, so easy to flick through your route before 
you leave to get some of it in your head before leaving the house, whether 
being the navigator for a driver, or just walking.

Apple Maps is getting better in revealing the steps of the route, but it is 
just easier to do in Google Maps.

And the other is google maps,

 I use the google maps all the time as it's great in new Zealand for getting

 If you want something better than that then you need to go to the tomtom or

RE: Talking GPS Apps

2021-02-11 Thread Simon A Fogarty 
Yeah tim,

Two I can think o f that are great,
One is apple maps,

And the other is google maps,

 I use the google maps all the time as it's great in new Zealand for getting 
around either in car or walking,

 If you want something better than that then you need to go to the tomtom or 
similar type thing.

Subject: Re: Dropbox not working with mBraille and no response from tech support

CAUTION: External Sender


Exactly what happens when you try to use the dot Open command, which normally 
pops up the screen with the files from your Dropbox MBraille folder?

I have had different issues over the years with MBraille and Dropbox working 
together. I can say that everything is working fine for me running ios 14.4.

Other than deleting and reinstalling your apps, you can also try this, which 
solved my issue last time.

1, Make a backup of all of the files in your MBraille folder in Dropbox, moving 
them to a different location within Dropbox.
2, Delete the MBraille folder from Dropbox.
3, Within the MBraille app, turn off syncing with Dropbox, then clear it from 
your app switcher.
4, Start the MBraille app and turn back on syncing with Dropbox. MBraille 
should automatically create a new MBraille folder in Dropbox.
5, TYPE something in MBraille and save it so it will be saved to the MBraille 
folder in Dropbox. This is just testing to see if it works.
6, If the save is successful, then use the dot open command to see if you can 
open the file you just saved.
7, If both is successful, then you should be all set, so you can then copy and 
paste all of the files you use to have in the MBraille folder to the new one 
just created.

Hopefully this is helpful and will work!

RE: Talking GPS Apps

2021-02-11 Thread Richard Turner 
The great thing about combining apps like SoundScape, and Google Maps or Apple 
Maps is that it's all free.
Of course, so is Nearby Explorer, etc.
Back in the day when I was working for the rehabilitation program for the blind 
I got to use the Sendero GPS with the BrailleNote PK, which was a fabulous and 
compact solution.
Of course, if I had to buy that package, it would have been over $5000.
Now, for the cost of an iPhone, you have more and better GPS options in your 
hand.

Good luck with the snow shoveling app, grin.

I use nearby explorer when I am giving my wife driving directions. For walking

combination. For example, if you are walking in unfamiliar territory, plot out 
your route with Apple Maps or google Maps. Then use Sound Scape to help you

Unfortunately, here in Northern Vermont, none of these apps shovel snow off the

Hi,

My suggestions is  Loadstone GPS is a powerful, easy-to-use app that
enables blind pedestrians to "go blindly where everyone sighted has gone
before." It is designed by the blind, for the blind, specifically for those
who use Voiceover. Initially launched in July 2017, Version 1.4 hit the App
Store in August 2019 and includes the much-requested turn-by-turn
navigation function. The User Guide was thoroughly revised for Version 1.4.
Two subsequent versions were released later in 2019 to address bug fixes
resulting from the IOS 13 updates.

More information:

Any suggestions for talking GPS Apps, which can be instaled on an iPhone. I
am looking for some that are completely compatible with Voice Over. Thanks
and have a nice day!

RE: Talking GPS Apps

2021-02-11 Thread Richard Turner 
This doesn’t spell it out exactly, but here is a news release, followed by a 
link to the new company created by APH, Access Explore.
For Immediate Release
Mike May Joins Access Explorer Team as Chief Evangelist
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (July 9, 2019) – Mike May, a pioneer in accessible navigation, 
has joined the
Access Explorer Team (an incorporated company owned by American Printing House 
for the
Blind). May brings experience that will help the company continue to lead the 
way in accessible
navigation.
“Mike has more than 25 years of experience in accessible indoor wayfinding and 
literally
originated this effort in the US. There is nobody with more experience or 
passion for accessible
indoor navigation than Mike,” says Access Explorer CEO, Jose Gaztambide. “He’s 
an incredible
leader and human being, and everybody at Access Explorer and the indoor 
navigation industry
will benefit from his commitment and presence.”
Mike will help the Access Explorer company develop partnerships, identify 
resources to help
expand its mission, and ensure Access Explorer’s work meets the highest 
standard of
accessibility.
“I’ve been learning how to navigate since I was blinded from an explosion at 
age 3, and have
worked on accessible navigation as a profession since the mid 90s,” explains 
May. “The timing
for indoor navigation to be adopted by the public is now – it’s the newest 
frontier. I believe the
Access Explorer company is poised to make sure accessibility is part of that 
breakthrough, and I
look forward to being part of this important mission.”
The Nearby Explorer app was created by the non-profit, American Printing House 
for the Blind
(APH). For 161 years APH has developed products for people who are blind and 
visually
impaired. As the popularity of Nearby Explorer grew, APH saw the need to take 
the app and
concept to the next level. In March of this year, after a period of studying 
the business need and
feasibility, and developing unique approaches to solving the obstacles to 
indoor navigation, APH
formed the new for-profit corporation: Access Explorer, Inc.
To schedule an interview, or visit or learn more about Access Explorer, contact 
Jonathan Wahl
at 502-216-9075 or jw...@aph.org<mailto:jw...@aph.org> 
jw...@aph.org<mailto:jw...@aph.org>.
About Access Explorer, Inc.
Through technology, Access Explorer ensures people who are blind or visually 
impaired can
independently navigate through venues and easily locate entrances, elevators, 
restrooms and
other points of interest. For more information, please visit 
www.accessexplorer.net<http://www.accessexplorer.net>
or go directly to https://www.goodmaps.com/

But over a year and a half ago, APH said Nearby Explorer would no longer be 
developed, but will work for some time to come.
I cannot find that, but you could of course, ask APH directly.

Most GPS apps work fine with VoiceOver.

Google Maps is my go to GPS app.  There is a setting for more detailed
walking directions for visually impaired.

Blind Square is a great app for orientation and can launch Apple Maps,
Google Maps, and others to get turn by turn directions.

Good Maps Explore is the new version of the prior APH map that was paid to
have maps stored locally.  It does both orientation and turn by turn
directions, maps are stored in the cloud  It shows up as Explore on the
iPhone..

Microsoft Soundscape is very popular, especially if you have bone
conduction headphones since it speaks out of the side closest to the
street/business, etc.  So you get real orientation.

Seeing Eye GPS is the Cadillac of GPS apps for the blind at $200.

Lazarillo is also an excellent, free, orientation app and can do its own
walking directions, as well as launch other maps for turn by turn
driving/riding directions.

MapQuest is good in the United States, but not as user friendly as the
others.



But again, they all work fine with VoiceOver.

I have both apps on my phone

Diedra,
You may want to check out Good Maps Explorer which is taking the place of 
Nearby Explorer.
It will show up simply as Explorer on your phone.

Most GPS apps work fine with VoiceOver.
Google Maps is my go to GPS app.  There is a setting for more detailed walking 
directions for visually impaired.
Blind Square is a great app for orientation and can launch Apple Maps, Google 
Maps, and others to get turn by turn directions.
Good Maps Explore is the new version of the prior APH map that was paid to have 
maps stored locally.  It does both orientation and turn by turn directions, 
maps are stored in the cloud  It shows up as Explore on the iPhone..
Microsoft Soundscape is very popular, especially if you have bone conduction 
headphones since it speaks out of the side closest to the street/business, etc. 
 So you get real orientation.
Seeing Eye GPS is the Cadillac of GPS apps for the blind at $200.
Lazarillo is also an excellent, free, orientation app and can do its own 
walking directions, as well as launch other maps for turn by turn 
driving/riding directions.
MapQuest is good in the United States, but not as user friendly as the others.

But again, they all work fine with VoiceOver.

The setting you are looking for to control shops is the increase and decrease

GoodMaps Explore sucks, and has a long, long, lng way to go before
it gets anywhere remotely close to offering what Nearby Explorer offers.
I'm sorry, but it's the truth. I wish this wasn't the case, but it is. And
before anyone asks, I have been in contact with their team and I have
provided feedback, plenty of it. Better stick to BlindSquare or
Soundscapes, as both of those work much better than the worthless GoodMaps
or, in my view, HorribleMaps.

Diedra,
You may want to check out Good Maps Explorer which is taking the place of 
Nearby Explorer.
It will show up simply as Explorer on your phone.

CAUTION: External Sender


Exactly what happens when you try to use the dot Open command, which normally 
pops up the screen with the files from your Dropbox MBraille folder?

I have had different issues over the years with MBraille and Dropbox working 
together. I can say that everything is working fine for me running ios 14.4.

Other than deleting and reinstalling your apps, you can also try this, which 
solved my issue last time.

1, Make a backup of all of the files in your MBraille folder in Dropbox, moving 
them to a different location within Dropbox.
2, Delete the MBraille folder from Dropbox.
3, Within the MBraille app, turn off syncing with Dropbox, then clear it from 
your app switcher.
4, Start the MBraille app and turn back on syncing with Dropbox. MBraille 
should automatically create a new MBraille folder in Dropbox.
5, TYPE something in MBraille and save it so it will be saved to the MBraille 
folder in Dropbox. This is just testing to see if it works.
6, If the save is successful, then use the dot open command to see if you can 
open the file you just saved.
7, If both is successful, then you should be all set, so you can then copy and 
paste all of the files you use to have in the MBraille folder to the new one 
just created.

Hopefully this is helpful and will work!

Eloquence is more responsive than any other tts, I can read more
quickly with it. And it's sound is even, compared to other voices.

But I did laugh at the descriptions, above! If his pitch is getting
that low in a single sentence, more punctuation is needed.

eSpeak is fine, too, and my Iphone uses Fred. I've just stopped
reading with anything else but Fred or Eloquence, so no more listening

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,

Eric Caron

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.

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.

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.

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

I can't figure out how to make it talk.  Loadstone tells me it has found GPS, 
then goes silent.  There must be something I need to set, but I can't find it

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?

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,

Eric Caron

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.

Re: GPS Apps for hiking?

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.

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: Nearby Explorer and Alternative GPS Apps

2019-04-02 Thread Richard Turner 
I have access to both because of my job.
But, I tend to use Google Maps and either Lazarillo or BlindSquare for myself 
since I don't want to spend the $79 for Nearby Explorer or the $299.99 for 
Seeing Eye XT GPS as an outright purchase, or the $129.99 for 3 years 
subscription, or the $69.99 per month ...
I'm not sure if the 99¢ is part of those prices, but you get the idea.

If I was going to not have to consider cost, I'd probably go with Seeing Eye XT.

I think the intersection descriptions are better in it.

But, this is truly a case of everybody's needs are different so each person 
really needs to sort out what the features are they want in a GPS app and go 
with whichever one meets that need.

Richard
