oh i think that blind people should have gone mainstream with it years ago.
this is probably not the right list for this but could you write me off list
with a complete breakdown of what the programme does, what you can use what
you can't, what you get out of the aspects that you can use?

Hi Darren. Quite a number of us have not only considered it as an
alternative. We are already using it with great success. Although I feel for
the loss of WFA and can sympothise with other people I feel its time for us
to go mainstreem. I haven't had the WFA product but I've had the opportunity
to trial the software. I can understand how much info will be taken away
from the user when the product finally is discontinued and that is where my
sympothy lies as using another product like Ovi Maps will feel like making
the best of a bad job with very little tools. Having said all this it's time
to explore the market and embrace new products and ideas.

it's great reading about all of this but is it realistically accessible? i
mean is it something that we can viably consider as an alternative?

Hi Hussein and Saqib.
Would it be possible to use the talks icon labeller to label these icons?
All the best, Ibrahim.

Hi,
Thank you very much for doing this. This will be of great use to a lot of
people I'm sure. Actually it ties in to an idea I have been sitting on for
some time which I will write you about off list.
Best,

Nokia Ovi Maps 3.3 main menu description.
This description is for the new Nokia Maps 3.3 main menu interface.
Usually when you open the application you are greted with the main menu
which consists of 10 icons. There are two rows of 4 icons which are
displayed on the screen and a further 2 which can be seen at the bottom left
of the screen. The display almost looks like a 4-4-2 formation. For those
who follow football will know what I'm relating to.
When you first open the Ovi Maps 3.3 app the drive icon is highlighted. The
drive icon is located on the left of the screen, second one down from the
top left icon. If you select this drive icon you will be presented with a
further 3 icons. The highlighter will be on the first of the 3 icons
presented which is on the left of the other two icons. The first icon is
called drive home in this submenu. Selecting this will prompt the app to
start navigation to your home location.
The second icon in this sub menu is called Set Destination. Pressing select
on this will bring up a accessible menu where you can select an option of
your choice. These choices consist of History, Favourites, Search and
finally From Map. The From Map is the 4th option.
The third and final icon from this Drive submenu is called Map. If you
select this you will be shown a Map view of your current location. From this
Map you can press select and you will then be presented with a accessible
menu. The first of these options is Show Details.This will give you further
information in text so You will know exactly where you are currently
standing. For example a name of the road and the number of the property in
which you may be standing by. Second option is Share location. Third option
is Save Place. 4th option is Send. I have now covered the drive section of
Ovi Maps 3.3.
My Position Icon
From the main icon screen remember when I pointed out that the highlighter
is stationed on the Drive icon in which I have described in detail above.
Above this icon is the My position icon which is situated on the top left of
the screen. It's the first icon in the first row of icons. To get to this
you just arrow up once from the Drive icon. With in this map view you can
hit select to bring up an accessible menu. These consist of Show
Details,Share Location, Save Place and the final option in the list is Send.
Find Places
The Find Places icon is the second icon in from the top left next to the My
Position Icon. Pressing select on this will bring up a search box. Once you
type in your search you should be presented with a result of your search.
Share Location
The Share Location Icon is the third icon in the top ro after the Find
Places icon. You will have to create a Nokia account to take advantage of
this feature.
Favourites
The Favourites Icon is the 4th and last icon in the top row. This is on the
right of the Share Location icon. Pressing select on this will bring up the
Favourites menu. The options here are Sincronise with Ovi, Places, Routs and
Create New Collection.
Second row of 4 icons description
The First option in this row of icons is the Drive option. I have covered
this earlier on in this document.
Walk
The Walk option resides next door to the Drive icon. Selecting this option
will bring up a submenu of three icons. The first icon is Walk Home. This
will trigger the navigation mode and you will be ready to outtake your
journey on foot. Icon 2 is the Set Destination option. From heare you can
select an address from a previous history or favourites. There are also
options to search or select from map. As the map it self is inaccessible I
think this option is not applicable for the VI user. The final option in the
Walk submenu is help. Sadly this is also inaccessible.
Weather
The Weather icon is the third icon in the second row and this is
inaccessible.
Events
The Events Icon is the final icon in the second row of four. This feature is
also inacfcessible.
Third row of 2 icons
The third row which is the bottom row has two icons. Both are inaccessible.
The first is called Loanly Plannet and the neighbouring icon is called
Michelin.
I hope this description is a help to those who are using the application.
