This is iPhone only but in a recent BlindCoolTech three mainstream navigation systems for iPhone are trailed side by side by a user. It is fair to say that all have some kind of issue but are evidently quite usable. http://media.libsyn.com/media/bct/bct1515iPhoneGPSComparison.mp3 If you don’t need full navigation but often as I do just want to know where you are then Sendero GPS Lookaround will answer that specific type of question for about £3 installed on your iPHone.

I believe the Tom-tom handheld units can do this, but I couldn't give you more specifics other than I think they're called the Go series and are touchscreen. If you have a recent Nokia phone, Ovi maps can do this as well, that is announce street names and give pedestrian instructions. I use this myself. All the best, Ibrahim. ----- Original Message ----- From: Howie, Sam<mailto:Sam.Howie@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: 'access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx'<mailto:'access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx'> Sent: Wednesday, November 10, 2010 9:08 AM Subject: [access-uk] Sat Nav Hi Does anyone know of or use a mainstream sat nav that can give audio directions for pedestrians.
