I have SoundScape. If my hearing were better, I’d use it more precisely because
of its directional cues. I should look into it more.

Microsoft Soundscape allows you to set way points and encode your own
directions. It’s pretty accurate, I use it for kayaking so that on ur return
across the lake my wife doesn’t have to call out as many directions.
Unfortunately Soundscape is being discontinued as of June, not sure what will
replace it in my navigation arsenal, as it’s the only one I’ve used that uses
directional audio beacons.

App Store was my first search, yeah. I didn’t see Privus, will check that
out. I could’ve sworn that people who are blind and use their iPhones and
VoiceOver for navigation were using one for precision stuff like navigating
through parking lots and stuff. a former guide dog instructor bragged about
a person he was training that had their iPhones telling them how to navigate
through parking lots and giving precise directions like “Take a left here,”
and so on. None of the GPS apps I’ve tried does this, and now that I’m
without a dog and forced to use a cane, and am also considered deaf-blind,
I’m looking for as much precision as I can get…

Got me curious, I’m not finding much on the app store. Something called
Privus claims to use inertial navigation, and Apple themselves have a
patent for the next generation.

Hi, folks. I’ve used a few GPS navigation programs for augmented mobility,
but I thought there was one that tracked your steps and used inertial
guidance in addition to GPS for better point-to-point navigation. I cannot
find it nor remember the name of it. I thought it was Ariadne, but while
that’s a good app, it doesn’t do what I’m seeking. TomTom, the other one I
seem to remem er being used by a lot of VoiceOver users, is more about
automobile traffic than walking GPS. Can anyone help me remember the app
I’m talking about, that keeps track of your steps and direction to help
give route guidance?
Thanks.
