Description

GoodMaps Outdoors is a fully accessible turn-by-turn GPS app for iPhone. 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 (Default), POIs and Settings.
• A unique GoodMaps Outdoors 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 top right tells you what is around.
• The More Info button 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, from starting with a POI, 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.

Really good turn by turn directions for blind users

I am a blind VoiceOver iPhone user and I have been using GoodMaps Outdoors for the best part of a year now. This is definitely one of the best GPS apps I have come across, particularly because of the extremely accurate turn by turn directions and the recently added feature of identifying and anticipating crossings/intersections. Please do keep up the good work and keep improving the app. The only negative point I can think of is that sometimes the app goes silent and the navigation voice stops announcing streets or the next step on a route for no apparent reason, and this can be quite disconcerting and confusing. I usually have to restart the app and re-select my destination to reactivate the verbal directions, which waste time when outdoors, particularly if I am going to a time-bound appointment. So if this could be fixed then that would be great. Apart from that, it is a very good GPS navigation app.
