Note that the compass is going to report every, tiny, tiny, movement you make. So if you are traveling due south at 180 degrees and you slightly turn the phone or take a step a little bit off, you will hear something like 179 degrees. Are you working with an Orientation and Mobility Instructor?
It might be easier to walk with someone following you to help you gage what the app is telling you and when you should correct your path based on the app. HTH, Richard "The highest reward for a person's toil is not what they get for it, but what they become by it." - John Ruskin, 1819-1900 Web site: www.turner42.com -----Original Message----- From: 'Sandy Tomkins' via VIPhone <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, April 30, 2021 12:59 PM To: [email protected] Subject: using the Compass with VoiceOver hi, Wonderful if anyone can help: I need to use the compass to help with my orientation while crossing roads. I Dhoni just begun playing with this app, the one that came built-in with the iOS, I can get it to announce the direction and compass point, but it also makes gloop noises, what do they mean? when you turn VoiceOver off, these go away, so, I imagine, they are there to help us use the Compass... any insights would be very gratefully received!
