GPS accuracy goes down as soon as you go into a building. But, remember, all GPS accuracy is dependent on a lot of factors and I would not trust it for pinpoint locations, but it can be very good within 50 feet or so if all is well.

The one I saw past $.99. I don’t like to buy any apps unless I am absolutely certain that they are voiceover accessible. Is this one completely accessible? Live the life you want.

Also, you can always ask the voice agent (Siri on the iPhone) your location. -eric On Apr 12, 2018, at 9:42 AM, Donald Raikes wrote: Hi, This may be a "silly" question, but I figured I would ask it since others may not know as well. When I am out taking our grand dog for a walk, I would like my IPhone to help me determine when I am back home. Our house is in the middle of the block, and when I am out with my cane I count the mail boxes to determine when I am at our house, but when walking the dog, she doesn't allow me to count the mailboxes she just guides me arround them (without any formal training). Also if we go a different route, and approach from accross the street I woul d like to know when we are accross from the house. Is there a simple way to have my phone tell me that we are at home? Any tips would be appreciated. Don -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
