Rhonda,

 

As we have said many times, the iPhone GPS is an excellent addition to the
Note and Sense GPS products. If you have a BrailleNote, by all means, keep
using it. There is no replacement for the built in Braille display. If you
have an iPhone and want an option, try the Seeing Eye GPS app.

Can you lock the phone with Navigon or Tom Tom running?  As that is the
answer I think if battery life is to be preserved.  With Blind Square, you
can lock the screen and all the information is announced to you by another
voice.  However, if Voice Over can do this then we're in with a chance to
conserve our batteries.  If you also remember, if you have a guide dog or
cane or anything else in your hands etc then it's going to be difficult to
touch the I phone screen especially if it's in your bag, pocket or executive
bag/brief case.  For me, if I had the product now, I'd want to be able to
put my I phone in my bag with the screen locked and for Voice Over to tell
me where I am etc etc.

 

Thank you very much.

 

Kawal.

charles,

 

you know i tested other apps.  so here is what i found out today with the
seeing eye app.

 

i had my phone a iPhone 4's, fully charged.

i started the seeing eye app at a bus stop by my house and went streight up
a highway for a 24 minute bus ride.  when i got off the bus my battery level
was at 85 per cent.

now, doing the same with navigon or tomtom / u s a as it is listed on the
phone my battery has only went down to 96 or 95 per cent.

 

just wanted to give you that heads up.
