Hi Andy
I haven't played with it yet, but the problem we iTouch users have with Maps
is that it will only work for as long as your broadband is picked up. Nice
idea though!
Kind Regards,
Jackie Cairns

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 -
