Sendero Group has been designing accessible GPS since 1994. Almost 20
years of user feedback and feature requests are behind the design of all
Sendero GPS products. The accessible features in Seeing Eye GPS are only the
beginning of what is yet to come as users help in evolving this first fully
accessible GPS product for the iPhone. To participate in the preview, visit us
at CSUN Booth 521 or reply to this email and we will send you a link for a Test
Flight as soon as it is available.
About Seeing Eye GPS
Getting around independently is a function of good mobility tools like a
guide dog or cane and good orientation tools like accessible GPS. Two pioneers
in their fields, The Seeing Eye and Sendero Group have teamed up to provide a
fully accessible turn-by-turn GPS iPhone app with all the normal navigation
features plus features unique to blind users.
* Instead of multiple layers of menus, the 3 important navigation
elements are on the lower portion of every screen, Route, POIs and Location.
* At intersections, the street name and your direction of travel are
announced.
* Intersections are described like 4-way with the clock face orientation
of the streets.
* There are 3 choices for POI data and 2 map sources.
* Directions are configured appropriately for Pedestrian and vehicle
routes including heads up when approaching a turn, the turn now indication,
continue straight and where the subsequent turn is located.
* When the user wanders off the route, it is automatically recalculated
and updated turn information is announced.
* Point your phone in a given direction to hear what is nearby with the
LookAround Wand.
* Nearby Points of interest and intersections are automatically announced.
