Hi Sharon.
I wouldn't say you were being spoiled for choice "smile", each app has a
distinctive purpose though in many cases the functionality does cross over
somewhat. Ariadne and Look Around tell you where you are with more or less
accuracy, though with Ariadne, you can explore a virtual map of your
surroundings where as with Look Around, you have access to nearest points of
interest and cross street information. What you need to do is decide what
tools you'd find most useful in any given situation. There are tonnes of
other apps which can use your position for various things, including Metro
Cab Finder, Next Buses, train times and on.
All the best, Ibrahim.

Hi David/Sharon.
I'd just add a couple more tools to the mix here, Where too which is an
incredibly powerful points of interest app with dozens of categories and
Sendero Look around, a simple but useful app for getting information about
your current location without too much fuss, including nearest five points
of interests, cross streets and so on. Another app I use is called Navigon
Now, a more efficient way of entering addresses in to Navigon with the
option to copy addresses you have in emails and web pages etc.
All the best, Ibrahim.

The best without doubt for assisting with routes is called Navigon. It is
quite expensive but very accessible. It comes from the Garmin stable, and
they are receptive to comments on accessibility.
Another for familiarisation from your current location is called "around
me".
The third one which I have is Ariadne GPS.
This trio gives a load of information and also good navigation.

Subject: [access-uk] Recommendations for a GPS App for the Iphone
Hi,
Can anyone recommend a user friendly type GPS app for my iphone. I want
something to tell me where I am, and something to help me find new places
etc.
I have no sight, so need something that works well with voiceover.
Many thanks.
Sharon
