This works great ... as it's also the way I do it ...

Subject: Re: Trekker GPS App
I have my iPhone in a case which is slightly grippy. I usually wear shirts
with collars. My shirts are usually tucked into my trousers. With all the
above being the case, I place my iPhone face-up on my shoulder under my
shirt with the collar against the lower part of the phone. Of course, I have
already set up the navigation app (usually Apple Maps nowadays). The iPhone
is slightly tilted against my neck and the speaker is directed toward my
ear. As I use a guide dog, my arm and shoulder are quite stable. Besides, if
the phone slides off my shoulder it drops between my shirt and my back, and
is stopped by my trousers.

David,
I'm curious how you manage to get the speaker securely near your ear. I
have thought this is something I would prefer at times, but I can't figure
out a secure way to do that.
Thanks. Keith

Just set maps to track with headings, use Ariadne, or use the new iMove
app (which I find to be a bit too wordy).

Hi David that's interesting about where you put the iphone. on my apex of
course there is a strap which you put over your shoulder so when carrying
my piano tuning bag to clip the iphone near your ear will make it better.
so if your gps system keeps anouncing where you are that's a great help.
I find when on a bus say I do not put a route in the gps as the bus goes
round estates I just put in a destination and have anouncments to where I
am.
Now when I get off the bus I put in a route to the house where I am doing
the piano tuning.

I connect my Bluetooth Braille display to my iPhone and use it the same
way whilst walking, or i tuck my iPhone under my shirt collar so the
speaker is near my ear. I also use a guide dog, and can easily hear the
speech even in high traffic. There are also Bluetooth speakerphones
which can be purchased and carried in a similar fashion.

hi there very interesting point about flicking a screen when walking.
my guide dog is brilliant but i must say with the iphone or the android
when walking if i have to do anything on the screen it is a real pain
when walking. i am one of the very fortunate people who can use the
apex with sendero gps and with the device over my shoulder i have the
braille at my right hand. today walking on a dual carrige way it was
impossible to hear my iphone gps but with the braille on the apex all
was well. i knew where the small gap was that i had to find to the
park but of course grace found it but again it was good to know it was
coming up. i wonder if anyone on the list uses the android gps with a
braille display this of course would make it a lot better to use when
walking but again which people say on the list the cost of a braille
display is very expensive. what about a voice activated gps but again
in heavy traffic it would not work. all the interesting stuff though.
