Hi Ibrahim,
I think we should be realistic here though, it is not really a solution for
the blind in its current state.
All the best
Steve

Hi Steve.
Well, I was able to use Maps on a route from my home to the local chemist
yesterday, however I get your point to a degree because you have to memorise
which icon and sub icon you need. For instance to walk a route, you need to
press the right arrow once, enter once then right arrow once to set
destination and this all from the home screen while avoiding touching the
touchscreen on N series devices. You could easily become disoriented if
you'll pardon the pun *smile*.
All the best, Ibrahim.
