Thanks much, I’ll check those out.

I’m fortunate that the facility is offering whatever accommodations I need.

Cheers,

Ian

I might suggest WayAround, for which you could purchase "waytags," that are

supervisor, and pleading reasonable accommodation, you could place these tags 
inconspicuously around where you need them, then read them with your phone.

Another idea might be to use something like "GoodMaps Indoors," which can 
recognize some signs within line of sight and which can also be Taylor's by 
learning specific destinations.

Good luck; I'd like to have more experiences with this type of indoor 
navigation myself, and more facility in unfamiliar indoor surroundings 
without having to be guided everywhere.

Hello list, I’ve got a new job lined up that involves work at a seniors 
retirement apartment complex. I’m wondering about indoor navigation and 
building orientation. Any experience with beacons that interact with a GPS 
type app? Any tips and tricks specific to iPhone use for learning a new 
building?

Thanks much,

Ian
