Hi all -
This is probably the same for the iPhone too.
I may be coming to this late, as I haven't needed to find a replacement for
Wayfinder Access since it went off line. However, this evening I took a look at
the maps programme on my Touch, and found I could put in a destination, and
because it can track where I am, it came up with a route, that was actually
accessible to me, telling me how far to walk, which way to turn, as well as the
name of the roads. I think for sighted users there is also an actual map, but
the fact that there are text instruction too, makes this useful. Thought I'd
share it just in case there are others like me that have imagined such a
programme would be inaccessible to the blind -
Andy
