ACCESSIBLEWORLD TEK TALK PRESENTS MIKE MAY, PRESIDENT, SENDERO GROUP, THE
SEEING EYE IPHONE APP, MONDAY AUGUST 5, 2013, 8 PM EDT, THE PAT PRICE ROOM:

NEWSWIRE:
Mike May President of Sendero Group, will offer highlights about the new Seeing
Eye GPS app for the iPhone per the information below as well as answering
questions. He even hints of an updated version to be out by the time of this
program.
The Seeing Eye, the pioneer in guide dogs, and Sendero Group, the pioneer in
accessible GPS, have teamed up to create The Seeing Eye GPST. Almost 20 years
of user feedback and feature requests are behind the design of all Sendero GPS
products. The accessible features in The Seeing Eye GPST are only the beginning
of what is yet to come as users help in evolving this first fully accessible
GPS product for the iPhone. The Seeing Eye GPST is a fully accessible
turn-by-turn GPS iPhone app with all the normal navigation features plus
features unique to blind users.
Instead of multiple layers of menus, the three important navigation elements
are on the lower portion of every screen: Route, POIs and Location.
At intersections, the street name and your direction of travel are announced.
Intersections are described (e.g. four-way) with the clock face orientation of
the streets.
There are three choices for POI data (Navteq, Foursquare, and OSM).
Directions are configured appropriately for Pedestrian and Vehicle routes,
including heads-up announcements for approaching turns, turn now, continue
straight and upcoming turns.
If one wanders off the route, it's automatically recalculated and updated turn
information is announced.
Point your phone in a given direction to hear what is nearby with the
LookAround Wand.
Nearby Points of interest and intersections are automatically announced.
