Cearbhall, glad to hear you are having positive results with the app, will be
trying it out myself when we are in town.

Michael,
This is a really interesting app. I think it gives me mor information than any
of the others.
A feature that I like is the ease of focussing on my exact address. The app
showed me a nearby house by default but when I went into settings it said that
no location was set. So, I just typed in my post code in the address field and
my correct address came up and is now stored as my primary location.
I then ran a route exploration from my desk to find the DART station.
It mapped this out and the pedestrian instructions are clear. A bit strange
near the DART station but that might change when I actually walk the route.
On the whole, I give this app full thumbs up and thank you for telling us about
it.
All the best,
Cearbhall

Hi All, a friend sent me the following information on a new navigation app
which may be of interest.
Regards, Michael
Here is the description from the app store with the link at the end.
GoodMaps acquires the Sendero GPS mobile apps from Aira, which are now free!
GoodMaps Outdoors is a fully accessible turn-by-turn GPS app for iPhone. It has
all the outdoor navigation features you expect plus unique offerings you cannot
get anywhere else, including extra verbosity for blind users. Features •
Four main tabs are easy to access at the bottom of the screen: Routes, Location
(Default), POIs and Settings. • A unique GoodMaps Outdoors feature: Record a
route using breadcrumbs, called Waypoints. No other accessible app has this.
You can add these waypoints with the add button or you can shake the phone to
create a Waypoint. It also automatically records a point after you have gone a
certain distance. These Waypoint routes can be saved for future use. • The
Lookaround Wand in the top right tells you what is around. • The More Info
button gives the altitude and speed. • Create your own POIs and share your
POIs with others or keep them privat e with a shortcut on
the Location page or from the POIs page. • POI categories are announced
with search results and make finding your destination easier. • Audio tones
and vibrations give feedback throughout the app, letting you know about
upcoming turns, critical intersection information, and when search is loading.
• A robust route menu includes multiple methods of choosing a destination,
from starting with a POI, an address from your contact list, your route
history, and many more! • Settings include many customization options like:
vibrations, vision contrast, color settings, and distance units. • There are
announcement options like right, left, clockface or both.
