hi all, I was wondering sense we now have google maps in seeing eye, could we have the google POI”s as a search option in the seeing eye app, as well as an option to turn off getting warmer mode when in a route?

I don't navigate to POIs very often choosing instead tohavecross street names spoken as my primary navigational tool. However, when I use A T & T Navigator or the Google Maps app on myiPhone,it always tells me what side of the street the POI is located. Perhaps I'm missing something here.

That is, you should be aware of the turn you need to make followingtheone your GPS has told you about in order to determine whether or nottocross at the upcoming intersection. For instance, if the GPS asksyou toturn left onto "x" street, you should check whether the turn onto"y"street is left or right. If it is a left turn then you do not needtocross, but if it is right then you need to consider crossing.Obviouslyyou would then use your O and M skills to determine the mostappropriateplace to cross the street.

I have had trouble figuring out if I should turn before or aftercrossinga street. For example, if the GPS says 'turn right on 74th street"in nyc,you couldd turn on that street and then cross or you could crossthannturn right. These are different sides of a block, vut the streetmame isthe same. Any tips on how to deal with this? Has anyone else experienced this? (i know GPS isn't perfect so this may be one of those times whenmaking aneducated guess may be the only optiom).

The map data is structured such that eachstreet isclassified by the map data provider such as residential, arterial, highway and so forth. The route calculation then uses those classifications to figure out pedestrian verses a vehicle route. Ihavefound situations where a route wasn't used as pedestrian becausethe roadwas considered a highway, like highway 99, which would be a highway outside of town but it is Main street in town and quite crossable.Othertimes, the reverse is true. If you have any of the other Sendero products, you can see the classification of every street. Sendero has no control over these classifications. Hence all the disclaimers that tell you not totrust thedata or the GPS signals. Proceed with caution! There are stories about how someone drove their car into a riverbecausethe GPS directed them that way. I hope most users are moreskeptical thanthat and use the technology with common sense.

Living in a big city that strictly follows a grid street design, I have noticed that the Seeing EyeGPS appsuggests pedestrian routes that an independent blind traveler wouldnevertake. It seems the Seeing Eye app offers the shortest routepossible.This often results in routes that take many turns or ones thatrequirethe blind traveler crossing streets without traffic controlled intersections. For example, I was walking from the Rockwell brownLine Lstation in Chicago at 4648 N. Rockwell to the Lincoln Squarelocation ofthe Crossfit Defined gym at 2750 W. Lawrence. The Seeing Eye app wanted me to go north to Leland, westtoTalman and then cross busy Lawrence. There is no traffic light at Talman. Instead, I chose to go on Rockwell north to Lawrence andcrossat the traffic light and then go west to my address. The entiretrip isonly three tenths of a mile. A similar situation happened this week when I wanted to travel frommyoffice at Washington and Dearborn in Chicago to the Industrioussharedwork space at 320 W. Ohio. This is a distance of one mile. The seeing Eye app told me to go north on Dearborn to Wacker Drive, gooneblock west to Clark street then go north to Hubbard Street. On Hubbard, I would walk just a few hundred feet to Wells Street.Then,the app wanted me to go north on Wells Street and then to take aleftturn on Grand Avenue. I then needed to take a right turn when I reached Franklin Street so I was going north again. Then onlyafter290 feet, I finally turn left going west on Ohio street to myaddress.An independent blind traveler would simply go north on Dearborn orClarkto Ohio and then west to the address. These routes were created using Tom tom maps. It is perplexing tome whya travel aid for the blind would create such complex pedestrianroutesgoing short distances. There are full sidewalks on Rockwell and alltheway up Dearborn and Clark streets. The many turns and avoidance of traffic lights does not make sense. With Apple maps, the end userisoften given three choices of routes to take, each with a differentset ofpriorities. One route may favor major streets. Another may have the shortest distance or travel time. Another mayofferthe fewest turns. With the Seeing Eye, GPS the end user has nochoice.KellyOn 7/8/14, Sofia Gallo <sofiagallo13@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: So I've noticed that most of the threads discuss using GPS whilein acar or paratransit service, so I figured I would start adiscussionfor those who use the app mostly for walking routes.
