One thing about the Google Maps app is that if you start navigation of a route and then proceed on your route without cellular data turned on, you will still have turn by turn navigation with speech as long as you stay on course. If you go off course you may not have guidance, but if and when you get back on course according to the original route, turn by turn voice guidance will resume. I've done this multiple times and it works wonderfully. The last time I did this it was on a 250 mile trip. lol
DJ _____ From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of David Chittenden Sent: Thursday, May 08, 2014 1:10 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: IPhone 5s And Navigational systems There are a few apps which work well as accessible GPS. Apple Maps is already on the iPhone and is fully accessible. Apple Maps is the app I usually use. Apple Maps requires a data connection as it does not keep the maps on the iPhone. Navigon and TomTom download maps onto the iPhone, so a data connection is not necessary. Both apps are accessible. Because they download the maps, they can take up a fair amount of memory, depending on the country where one resides. Google Maps is similar to Apple Maps. Like Apple Maps, it is free, and it requires a data connection. If turn by turn navigation is not required, Ariadne and BlindSquare are alternatives which are targeted more toward the blind. Ariadne shows one's current address. BlindSquare announces upcoming intersections as well as displaying one's current address. BlindSquare uses the FourSquare database, and is rather more expensive.
