Will it work as much better where there are no streets, like on a farm?
A friend of mine is orientationally challenged, and he lives on a farm.
He does not really need it for the roads, but all over his property.

Glenn,

I also use Nearby Explorer, and trust me when I say, I thought Navigon for I O 
S was the best it came.  Once I saw what N E would do however, I was blown 
away!  I agree that 99 bucks is quite steep, but I'm telling you:  It is so! 
so! so so worth it!

Chris.

  Hi,
  I will consider that one, but that is a bit on the spendy side.
  Navigon for IOS is like 35 or 40 dollars.
  Thanks.

  I’d suggest nearby explorer if your looking for a good solution. It stores 
the gps data maps, etc. on your device no wifi or cell signal required does 
take up 3GB of space though. So, make sure you have it first before purchasing. 
The app is $99

It has features that could be be adapted for the blind .I am presently in 
conversation with the creator to make it more accessible to the totally blind

    At present when installed it will speak to you when you receive a new 
communication but needs to be activated by a sighted person

      TalkBack is rather efficient and should be installed oo your device under 
accessibility. One app that I am accessing at the moment is keepal available 
from play.

        Hi,
        This is Glenn, I may be on other lists with some of you.
        I just bought a used Galaxy S3 to play with, as I use an iPhone, but I 
need
        to know Android so I can teach my clients.
        I'm a counselor for the Blind, in Nebraska.

        I'm wondering which of the "Blindness Apps" are considered to be the 
best?
        I want to get a GPS app, but since I won't be putting cellular onto it, 
I
        need a GPS app that puts its maps onto the device, like Navigon.
        Is Navigon considered the best of those which you download the maps?
        On my iPhone I mostly use Ariadne GPS, but this won't work without 
cellular
        or WIFI.
        I will be connecting to WIFI for downloading things like apps and cloud
        stuff.

        Thanks for any thoughts.

        Glenn
