I applied to be a beta tester for this app as well, as it has yet to
be released and the app developer herself told me in Dallas that it
has yet to be tested with braille. This is just FYI. I have seen the
app in action, and it appears to work as advertized.

Coming soon for iPhone (4S, 4, 3GS), iPad 2 (3G version only), and
iPad 3 (4G version only)

Breadcrumbs GPS is a location and orientation app designed
specifically for the navigation needs of people with visual
impairments or blindness.

Using the iPhone as a pointing device, Breadcrumbs helps blind or
visually impaired travelers locate orientation points, or
"breadcrumbs", on a route. A breadcrumb can be dropped in your current
location by simply pressing the "Drop Breadcrumb" button in the app.
Then, when pointing your phone in the direction of that breadcrumb,
the app will vibrate and alert you of its proximity.

 The app enables you to create routes by dropping several breadcrumbs
along a path, such as the walk to a local post office, making it
easier to re-trace your steps later. You can also drop a single
breadcrumb to find specific locations or landmarks, such as the
entrance or exit at the local beach or park.

 Breadcrumbs GPS also allows you to easily retrace your path in new or
unexplored areas such as long driveways or hiking trails. By keeping
you informed of the direction and distance to designated breadcrumbs,
you’ll be able to independently navigate to your destination using
your normal mobility methods.
Features:•Convenient, single-screen navigation
•Seamless integration between breadcrumb-based and route-based travel
•Pocket Mode – complete automation of breadcrumbs features for a
hands-free experience
•Easily create or "drop" a breadcrumb via GPS coordinates, addresses or contacts
•Share routes or back them up via email
•Flexible, custom display of GPS accuracy, breadcrumb direction,
altitude, and nearest address
•Quick, on-the-fly reset of individual breadcrumbs
•Fluid, on-demand route reversal and management
•Complete in-app documentation and tips for using Breadcrumbs

Breadcrumbs GPS is designed for both users with no vision as well as
users who have residual vision. Because Breadcrumbs is designed as an
orientation and location aid and not a way-finding aid, good
orientation and mobility skills are recommended. The app requires iOS
5.0 or greater.

Requirements
 The Breadcrumbs GPS App is an app for GPS-equipped iOS devices
running iOS 5.0 or greater. These include the iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4,
iPhone 4S, iPad 2 (3G version only), and iPad 3 (4G version only).
