Tek Talk Archives description:
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 GPS™. 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 GPS™ 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 GPS™ 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.
