bus stops are announced when I am travelling on a bus but not every bus stop
and that is in Dublin. like I also said in a previous mail responding to Alex
it is possible according to the instructions to use in vehicle mode.

Mike, that was what I thought too.

I have the feeling Blind Square will only announce bus stops while you
are in pedestrian mode. If you are in a bus or other vehicle I think it
detects that by the speed you are traveling and then does not announce
stuff useful to a pedestrian.
I may be wrong. But while I'm stumbling around Godalming it squawks
every time I go within about 80 metres or so of a bus stop (adjustable
distance) and does not do this if I'm on a bus.

Hi Phil,
I take it you want BlindSquare to announce all bus stops on root and not
just your bus stop. I haven’t tried this idea below as I only bought
BlindSquare three days ago but I think it could work - I’ll try it on
Monday. Give it a go if you have the chance.
On the main screen, click on Filter Announcements. Now from the picker item
choose Places only. Swipe down to Automatically announced categories and
deselect all but Travel and Transport. Back to the main screen, change the
Radius to 200m/300m (650ft/980ft).
Mind you though, if this configuration indeed works and does what you want,
I believe a drawback of it is that you won’t be notified of any other
landmarks but bus stops/stations and train stations only.
If I misunderstood your question, and what you want is rather to make sure
that BlindSquare notifies you of your bus stop upon arrival, then refer to
the (Using BlindSquare in Vehicles) section in instructions at
http://blindsquare.com/instructions/
And I found this AppleVis podcast (An Introduction and Overview of
BlindSquare) to be useful. Get it at
http://www.applevis.com/podcast/episodes/introduction-and-overview-blindsquare-updated
And as we on this topic, I’d like to say that although I’ve only had
BlindSquare for few days but I am well impressed!
Let us know what you think.

Hi List
Earlier this week someone mentioned that Blind Square announces bus stops.
I have tested this today but without success. Could someone advise me
please how to change the settings so this will happen.
Thanks.
