Soundscape vs OnPace

Soundscape uses 3D audio technology to help users with visual impairment build a fuller and more complete awareness of urban environments, giving them a richer understanding of where they are and what is around them. This in turn helps them to navigate with greater confidence and more independence. It allows users to search for destinations and store markers and route information that they can use to help guide them on their way to the places they need to reach.

Know at every checkpoint whether you are ahead of your plan or behind it. Set the times you usually pass a few points on the way: leaving home, the corner, the bus stop, the office. While you move, OnPace compares where you are with where the plan says you should be and shows the gap in minutes and seconds. It does not give directions. It tells you whether to hurry. ■ Making a route • Walking and driving routes from Apple Maps • Checkpoints filled in along the way • A route built from a trip you take • A window of its own at each checkpoint • Bus and subway legs ■ Before you leave • A departure reminder for each route • The route for the time of day, picked on its own ■ On the move • Minutes and seconds ahead of or behind plan • The next checkpoint and the time to pass it • Estimated arrival • Lock Screen card and Dynamic Island • An alert when you drift out of the window • Map pins where you mark boarding, getting off and more • Start from Control Center, Siri or Shortcuts ■ OnPace Pro • More routes: two to begin with, no limit with Pro • Tune from trips: checkpoint times set to the median of your recent trips, with the suggestions visible without Pro • Days for each route: departure reminders and the automatic pick follow them ■ Privacy • No personal data collected • No account and no sign-in • No ads and no outside analytics Set your usual route once, and the next time you head out you will know whether to run.
