Indigo Nav vs Clew Maps

Indigo is a fully accessible turn-by-turn GPS app. It has all the outdoor navigation features you expect plus unique offerings you cannot get anywhere else including extra verbosity for blind users. Features: Four main tabs are easy to access at the bottom of the screen. Routes, Location, POIs and settings Indigo has the option to explore POIs or route turning points virtually. Transit Routes can be created and nearby transit stops will be announced. A unique Indigo feature: record a route using breadcrumbs called Waypoints. No other accessible app has this. You can add these waypoints with the Add Button or you can shake the phone to create a waypoint. It also automatically records a point after you have gone a certain distance. These waypoint routes can be saved for future use. The LookAround Wand in the upper right corner tells you what is in the direction your phone is pointing. The More Info button on the Location screen gives the altitude and speed. Create your own POIs and share your POIs with others or keep them private with a shortcut on the Location page or from the POIs page. POI categories are announced with search results and make finding your destination easier. Audio tones and vibrations give feedback throughout the app letting you know about upcoming turns, critical intersection information and when search is loading A robust route menu includes multiple methods of choosing a destination starting with a POI and an address from your contact list, your route history and many more. Settings include many customization options like vibrations, vision contrast, color settings and distance units. There are announcement options like right/left, clockface, or both.
