Instead of accumulating even more GPS apps, make friends with the apps you already have. The Soundscape app by, oh gosh, Scottish Tech Army is it? Anyway, that’s an active fork of the original app and is good. Voice Vista is also good, but with GPS apps you’ll quickly find you’re duplicating features across the board. My recommendation: Pair a good blindness-specific GPS app with either Google Maps or Apple’s own native Maps app, and learn how to mark places and navigate really well with those. If you feel you absolutely need a shiny new toy, consider the new GPS Mike’s peddling. I think it’s called Indigogo?
Hope this is helpful, Joe -- Joe Orozco: Your Message, My Mission https://joeorozco.com/services/ From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Dean Martineau Sent: Tuesday, February 17, 2026 8:56 AM To: [email protected] Subject: simple gps app recommendation I will soon be moving into a large gated community containing several businesses and other landmarks I'll probably want to mark for easy relocation. I have a plethora of gps apps that I have collected but mostly never used, including several under the Seeing Assistant line, BlindSquare, Voice Vista, SoundScape (which I assume doesn't get updates,) and perhaps others. Are there any recommendations? -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
