I have Navigon, and my wife has Tom Tom, and I have read and heard
accounts of others. They are pretty similar, as far as accessibility
and features are concerned. None of them will automatically speak
upcoming intersections, which is the feature that makes the blind
oriented solutions stand out.

The features on all of them are similar, not a whole lot of difference.

Actually, the interface on map quest is not fully accessible, so it may
not be worth getting, but the others work very nicely.

voice guidance in walk mode which makes it pretty much useless for blind

pilot, and now the magellan road mate app, and of course sendero look
around.

upcoming intersections.
