The Seeing Eye GPS, is a fully accessible turn-by-turn GPS iPhone app with all the normal navigation features plus features unique to blind users.
Unique to The Seeing Eye GPS.
Instead of multiple layers of menus, the three important navigation elements are on the lower portion of every screen: Route, POIs and Location.
At intersections, the cross street and its orientation are announced
Intersections are described (e.g. four-way) with the clock face orientation of the streets.
There are three choices for POI data (Apple, Foursquare, and OSM).
Directions are configured appropriately for Pedestrian and Vehicle routes, including heads-up announcements for approaching turns, turn now, continue straight and upcoming turns.
If one wanders off the route, it's automatically recalculated and updated turn information is announced.
Point your phone in a given direction to hear what is nearby with the LookAround Wand.
Nearby Points of interest, intersections, and heading changes are automatically announced.
Ability to run in the background or with the screen locked for iOS 7. If you are running an older version of iOS 6 only the sound effects will play and the phone will vibrate at turns and at your destination but no speech output. Note: Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
