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.

    Will not announce all streets when riding a city bus. Other apps do announce those streets.
  • I love it! Thank you!

    this app is one of the best math apps I've used yet. I hope that it remains available for a long time. I love being able to get directions to a place, and being able to set way points along the way if I choose. I can't really think of anything else that I wish this app would have, I just hope that it doesn't go away like other map apps in the past that work good like this have.
  • I love the app!

    Great app! Only minor problem I've noticed, and it could very well just be me, but it seems like the app is a lot less chatty when the screen is locked. This may be by design, but I personally would prefer to have just as much spoken feedback even when the screen is locked as when it is not and the app is open on my screen. Also, some integration for Apple Watch and bluetooth bone conductive headphones would be nice. For example, a lot of these headphones even though they are bone conductive and not regular, they still have buttons to control playback. It would be nice if the app could make use of those buttons so that you can get info about what street you are on, which intersection is ahead, and how far. Trying to operate a phone one handed while also walking is not that easy. Would be good to be able to just reach up, press a button on the headphones, and done. Having said all this, the app is already amazing, and look forward to seeing what else can be done with it in the future.

    First of all, this app is amazing! Because of this app, I have been able to navigate my college campus safely and effectively. I depend on this app and have nothing but good things to say. However, ever since updating to iOS 13.2 on my iPhone 7,∫ app crashes immediately upon opening. I hope this bug is able to be resolved soon.
  • I need help!

    This app is by far the best acessible gps solution for the blind on the narket. I am so confident in this app I bought it for life. If googles absence from this app will lessen its effectiveness then I would encourage google to reconsider its stance pleas.

    Whether it's hearing street names as I walk a new route, finding a place to have dinner with friends or learning more about the route my Uber driver takes, theres not a better tool than Seeing Eye GPS XT. In addition to the helpful information most GPS apps provide this one is taylored to give me information that I can't access easily any other way as a blind person.
