GREAT APP! Just 2 wishes...

Great app, very nostalgic as I used to use my Braille Note with Sendero GPS for many many years! I only wish that upcoming intersections could be described with clock face or orientation rather than cardinal directions. Also would love if heading information in degrees could be included in more info. This will be very fun on airplanes.

Latest update seems to have a bug if you choose to get to a destination by walking

I have found this aapp to be very sturdy and reliable, but the latest update seems to have a problem if you want to get to a destination by walking, formally known as the pedestrian mode. When clicking on this now, a warning flashes up, but there is no explanation to what the warning is and so when you press the okay button the walking instructions don’t get started. Have checked with a cited person and can confirm that they can’t see what the warning messages about either

Good app with great potential

I will say before I write this that I haven’t used this app in a few months because of the issue I’m about to talk about…
That being said this app is a good app with great potential. However, a major issue that I was having with this while working with an orientation and mobility instructor, was that when putting in addresses and locations, POI’s. When it was giving me directions, it seemed to be several hundred feet off base when getting near the location. For example, if I tried to go to the library and put in that address, it would take me 2 to 300 feet away from the library when I got close and I wouldn’t actually get to the library. This was pretty consistent. It least in my area. This is kind of a big deal but if this could be fixed and again it may be I haven’t used it in a few months, then this app can do great things.
I’m in northeastern PA for context.

indigo:

I really love this app!!!!!!! Thanks to APH for this app. I hope it will stay around for years to come!

too bad

I don't understand it when you go to the settings in the app. And under General, it shows you that if you want to change the voice, you have to go to the Accessibility settings. Where can you find the accessibility function? I was in the app. I was also in the settings, but I didn't see any point where it says "Accessibility." Please fix the problem. Thank you very much.
