Hi, now that you put it that way I believe you are right. That's why I
put that disclaimer that I hadn't personally tried this setup. So, I
appreciate that you pointed it out.

Hi Raul,
I thought BlindSquare uses data for it's maps. I don't recall ever
downloading maps for BlindSquare and if it relies on data then it wouldn't
work with an iPod Touch unless you had a Wi-Fi connection which normally is
not the case when you are walking around. Using an external GPS receiver may
give you a GPS signal, but BlindSquare, Sendero LookAround or Ariadne
wouldn't know what to do with it unless they have access to maps.
Regards,
Sieghard

Hi, Blindsquare does an ok job of telling you how far you are from the
intersection. It tends to work better if you are walking rather than moving
in a vehicle like a bus or someone's car though. Yes, as far as I know, if
you have an iPod Touch with a compatible GPS it can connect to, then it
should work just fine. I have personally never tried this though.

Hello,
Will any of these systems work on i-touch with GPS interface and will
they tell how far one is from the intersection?
Thanks,

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.
