i got the below app on my iPhone 4 and iPad 2 earlier today, have explored many aspects of it, and am extremely impressed with the thought, design, and care with VoiceOver that occurred during R&d. The part that I enjoy the most, which I think is very innovative, unique, and empowering for iOS VoiceOver device users is the accessible map exploration, which is a great joy on the iPad. The other aspect of that app, which I really enjoy is the ability to set favorites and to customize the alert distance, and alert type (sound, vibration, and/or voice). Please read on for more details of the great Ariadne GPS iOS app. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: rossy <phonerossy@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Sat, 18 Jun 2011 21:38:42 +0200 Subject: new gps app per iphone and ipad good evening all , here iis a new gps app , where finally we can read the map wigh voiceover . *** Ariadne GPS is now available on the App Store. http://www.ariadnegps.eu - info@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Yet another app that uses the GPS! Maybe not. There are some innovative aspects in this application that are worth mentioning. The app offers you the possibility to know your position at any time and monitor it while walking, you can decide to be informed about what changes along the way, street numbers, street names, etc.. There is also the option to save your favorite points and to be alerted, when you approach one of them, for example when you are on a train, bus, etc... using sound, vibration, and even voice, if you are using VoiceOver. Furthermore, there is an interesting and innovative feature, namely the ability to explore the map. The same way a person who sees the map has a whole view of what surrounds them or a view of a specific location, those using VoiceOver can now have an idea of the conformation of a certain area by tapping the map with their finger. Moving your finger on the map, you can hear the street names and numbers pronounced by VoiceOver and make yourself a mental map of the area. This application is fully accessible and provides access to details that are normally unavailable to people who use the speech synthesizer and can therefore be particularly useful for the blind and visually impaired. The app uses the GPS and a remote service, which at the moment is Google. This means that some information may be inaccurate or unavailable at certain times (depending on the gps signal, the network and server availability). However, we are working to improve this information and functionality also using different services and mechanisms. The app is localized in English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Dutch and Danish. For more details you can visit the app web site at http://www.ariadnegps.eu.
