I was worried about the GPS apps after I heard about the issues with the new
maps on the iphone 5. Have they fixed this?

Many apps such as Navigon, Tom tom, and Motion X GPS use their own maps.

Thanks for the reply Raul. Personally, I feel that the progress
towards a fully accessible GPS experience on the iPhone is tremendous
and exciting. But I have tried Navigon and Ariadne in tandem and don't
really feel that it's there yet. Switching apps isn't a big deal for
me, especially since as
I find Apple Maps works quite well here in Wellington, New Zealand.

Hello Grant, and anyone else interested, my apologies for not responding
sooner. The message slipped through the cracks and I just now found it
again. The short answer to your question is yes. Meaning that for me,
what I have works superbly and I don't feel like I'm lacking in what I have.
Though it may not be as applicable for everyone, don't forget about
the built in Maps features of iOS 6, with the new iPhone 5 and other
recent iPhones and iPod Touches, which offer voice guidance if VO is
off, and a spoken list of directions if VO is on. The more I use Maps
for GPS in my wife's
Hi Wayne,
Is there an accessible way to choose which route to take when Maps offers
several? I can't figure out how to move to any route besides the first, and
while VO speaks the time the route will take, I can't figure out a way to find
anything else out about the route.
Thanks,
Anna

Yes. When presented with the list of possible routes, you can
swipe/flick between the different routes. When on a route, such as
route 2, double tap it, then swipe/flick through that area of the
screen to view the time it will take and other information. When you
want to begin the selected route,

I noticed that Navigon is half-price today. Do you think it is worth that
much? Yes I know it is normally $50, but can it be used without having a
car?
Thank you so much!

Hi, Navigon is the best one for both vehicle and pedestrian travel. Of
course this is my opinion and others will have differing mileage with
this app. Plus points to Navigon are that it doesn't rely on your cell
data because the maps are downloaded locally to your phone. Its
interface is easy
Hi Raul, I want to thank you for this objective comparison; it was
very much appreciated.
Would you say that between Navigon and Ariadne GPS, you could get
functionality roughly equivalent to that offered on blindness-specific
products such as the Breeze or Sendero GPS for the BrailleNote? I've
