[IL-Talk] Good GPS software for blind people

[Leslie Hamric]

BlindSquare when I got it cost about 40 bucks. There's also a free app called VoiceVista. It's kind of like the former app called soundscapes from Microsoft. It'll tell you what you're passing as as you're passing them. For example, if you're walking down the street and targets on your left. You can create routes With it, explore with it, or create landmarks. So you might want to give that one a try as well. The best news is that it's free.

You could have it tell you what intersection you're approaching and if you have it set up to do a route, it'll tell you which direction to turn. The built-in Compass on the iPhone is pretty good too.
