Hi, Blindsquare will do this will no changes in the settings, although I
usually set the filter to street names and intersections only. When I'm
traveling in a new area and I want to know where I am in terms of the
streets, I don't care about businesses around me. Now, when I'm more
familiar, then I'll usually like knowing what else is there. Ariadne is
excellent as well as long as you follow the below suggestions of making
sure the app is in the foreground, start monitoring is enabled and you
will then get the current location spoken by Voice Over itself.

This is sort of inline with a post asking about the vOICe for iOS. I was wanting
something to read me intersections on a bus. Seigard (sp?) mentioned blind square would
do this, and I've found that Ariadne GPS will too, as long as it's open, in the front,
and VO is turned on. The "Start Monitoring" button is what's needed to
activate this feature. I'm running Ariadne on an iPhone 4 btw.

Recently, someone asked a question regarding GPS programs which would verbalize
the names of intersections. I apologize for not saving the message in question
as I cannot quote it or even approximate what the respondent said. But, if I
remember it correctly, I understood the message to say that none of the GPS
programs would verbalize the street names unless one were using an iPhone 4S or
5. I want to be sure I understand this. Am I to understand that if I am running
either a 3GS or 4, there are no GPS programs which will verbalize the names of
streets as one is approaching?
Thanks.
