This is iPhone only but in a recent BlindCoolTech three mainstream navigation 
systems for iPhone are trailed side by side by a user.  It is fair to say that 
all have some kind of issue but are evidently quite usable.

If you don’t need full navigation but often as I do just want to know where you 
are then Sendero GPS Lookaround will answer that specific type of question for 
about £3 installed on your iPHone.

Hi Sam.

I believe the Tom-tom handheld units can do this, but I couldn't give you more 
specifics other than I think they're called the Go series and are touchscreen.  
If you have a recent Nokia phone, Ovi maps can do this as well, that is 
announce street names and give pedestrian instructions.  I use this myself.

All the best, Ibrahim.

Hi
Does anyone know of or use a mainstream sat nav that can give audio directions 
for pedestrians.
Thanks
Sam
