Hi Richard and all. There seem to be a lot of blindness specific apps for guidance. Humanware also has dedicated navigation device such as stellar trek. Has someone done a comparison between iphone apps and dedicated devices for the navigation for the blind? If so, I will appreciate you to direct me to the resource.

This is the app that started out as Sendero GPS with a high price tag, Seeing Eye GPS for iOS which was still expensive, then became GoodMaps Outdoors, which was free, then rebranded as Indigo Nav, which is also free.

 

Indigo Nav update notes

 

1. Upgraded routing system to Google Routes API for more reliable route guidance and improved overall navigation performance. 

2. Improved maneuver guidance with an updated maneuver set, including new/updated turn types and refreshed icons. 

3. Introduced new Speech Settings for Indigo announcements, giving users more control over voice selection, speaking rate, pitch, and volume. 

4. Added options to send feedback to remove or flag Foursquare points of interest. 

5. Updated key labels and navigation wording across the app, including:      Route heading title changed to "Choose Mode" on Route screen.       Vehicle / Pedestrian mode renamed to Drive / Walk

6. Added intersection data support for new countries, improving navigation guidance in:      Denmark, Slovakia, Ukraine, Panama, South Africa, and Romania
