Hi. I use an app called Ariadne GPS and that's always bang on with information. It always tells me which road I'm on when I'm travelling on a bus and there aren't any delay issues with it. Blindsquare is another one that tells you about street crossings and points of interest. I didn't rate this app much to begin with but it's had at least 4 updates since the original release and it's a joy to use. It's also taxing on the battery as it uses its own TTS.

Kind Regards, Jackie Cairns -----Original Message----- From: Kirsty Tilley [mailto:kirsty.tilley@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: 11 December 2012 09:27 To: Kirsty Tilley Subject: ** STOP PRESS ** New Price on Trekker Breeze GPS from HumanWare Europe We are very pleased to announce a significant price reduction on the Trekker Breeze GPS, a satellite navigation system designed specifically for blind people to use. The new price is £325 and includes the latest postcode software and the very latest UK & Ireland maps containing the locations of thousands of commercial points of interest such as banks and restaurants. By just turning the Trekker Breeze on you will start to receive audio information about what’s around you and the names of any streets and junctions as you approach them. The Trekker Breeze can be held in the hand; attached to your waistband; carried across the body on the strap provided or even carried in the pocket of your jacket. It comes with a small, discreet lightweight speaker which can be attached to the lapel of a jacket or shirt. With Trekker Breeze you’ll always know where you are at just the press of a button, and be able to very easily find a particular shop, bank, restaurant or pharmacy etc. If you know the postcode of where you want to go this can be entered and Trekker Breeze will create a suitable route for you based on whether you are walking or navigating for a driver in a vehicle. You can record as many landmarks or routes as you like and Trekker Breeze can also be used in open areas such as parks, fields or university campuses. If you travel by bus, just keep the Trekker Breeze switched on and you will automatically hear the names of any streets that you pass, the name of the road you are currently on and any landmarks you have recorded. Now you can travel on the bus, stress-free, without having to try and remember where you are and without having to rely on the bus driver or a fellow passenger. We hope you’ll enjoy using the Trekker Breeze GPS. It is so simple to use, but to use it independently a person must have good mobility skills with either a long cane or Guide dog as Trekker Breeze is not designed as a mobility aid.
