Product Description: 

Ariadne GPS is a GPS navigation app that meets the needs of blind users in an easy-to-use interface. Talking maps allow users to explore the world around them by moving their finger around the map. While exploring, crossing a street is signaled by vibration. It has a "favorites" feature and can be used to announce stops on the bus or train, while rotating maps keep users centered, with territory behind the user on the bottom of the screen and what is ahead on the top portion.

Main Features: 

  • Besides offering the users the possibility to know their position and to get information about the street, the number, etc. the app also lets them explore the map of what's around them. With VoiceOver activated, users can know the street names and numbers that are around them by touching them on the map.
  • Users can ask for information about their position at any time and also activate a function called "monitor," which will automatically provide current location info periodically.
  • Users can add their favorite points to the app database and be alerted when they get closer than a certain distance to one of them.

Primary Specifications: 

  • Requires iOS 10.0 or later.
  • Compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.
  • Works anywhere Google Maps are available.
