I wonder if the following apps might help: supersense, superlidar, or
the envision app.

I saw something about that on the CBS evening news recently, and also read
something on the net, but don’t you have to wear two haptic generators, one
on each wrist or something? I’d love something like that, except I already
wear an Apple Watch on my left wrist. The directional audio thing would work
great in the Bluetooth streaming device connected to my hearing aids, it’s
my dodgy hearing that messes me up every time. I’d love to be able to run
two navigation apps at once, say, SoundScape and something like Seeing Eye
GPS or Maps or something, but that might kill my battery very quickly and
I”m not sure how well they play together.

Unfortunately I crunched my open ear headphones recently so I’ve lost a
bit of Soundscapes effectiveness.
I recall reading about some efforts to incorporate haptic feedback into
devices to replace straight audio. I however can’t recall if it was a cane
grip or a guide dog harness that was being prototyped.
Cheers,
Ian

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.
