Hi All, One of the things I really like so far about the new built in maps app with is the ability to explore a map with voiceOver.
I would love to hear some of your experiences with this and any tips and tricks you've discovered. I've only played with it for a little bit, and one thing I'm still working on is following a street so that VoiceOver announces each new intersection as it comes along. So far, VoiceOver gives me the first 1 or 2, but then goes silent - even though I'm hearing the clincking sound which, I believe, is the indicator that I still have my finger on the street. How has this been for others? And, I would love to know if anyone has been able to use this feature to get a sense of difficult intersections. For instance, there are intersections where the streets don't meet at right angles, or where there are extra turn lanes etc. It would be great to have the ability to explore this on the map, though I'm not sure if maps and VoiceOver are that fine tuned. I'm totally blind, and have been since birth, and I'm sure that, as the Maccessibility review noted, folks who have had some vision may have an easier time with getting oriented to tracing a map. And I'm sure it will be especially nice on a bigger screen, such as the iPads. In any case, I think it is a terrific feature, and I'd love to be able to fully exploit it for all of it's potential. And I'd love to know what other's experiences with it have been. Lisa -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group.
