Intersector helps you quickly identify nearby street intersections using your iPhone’s location and heading. Ask for the nearest intersection, what’s coming up ahead, use Scan Mode to point your phone down the street and hear the intersection it detects, or turn on Live Mode and have Intersector speak your upcoming intersections on a walk or during a ride with your phone locked. Intersector can speak distance, direction, and neighborhood context, and includes optional wording styles so announcements can match how you think about your surroundings. Built with VoiceOver users in mind, Intersector focuses on fast, clear spoken information without turning into turn-by-turn navigation. It is designed as a lightweight orientation tool for understanding nearby cross streets, not as a crossing aid or safety system. Features include: • Nearest intersection announcements • Upcoming intersection announcements • Scan Mode for nearby intersections in the direction you point • Live Mode to announce upcoming intersections automatically while walking or in transportation, using customizable speech • Siri Shortcut support • Optional distance, direction, and neighborhood details • Customizable intersection wording • Support for split intersections where different streets meet the same main street • Manhattan Snob Mode for New York-style direction wording • VoiceOver-friendly controls and spoken feedback • Dynamic Type and large text support. Intersector also has an Apple Watch companion app, so Siri Shortcuts and intersection data can be queried right from your wrist. Intersector uses location and heading data to provide orientation information. Always use your own judgment, mobility skills, and available pedestrian infrastructure when traveling.
