Thanks Paul. I will let you know. It will be my first podcast of any kind. I've re-scheduled it for tomorrow afternoon as I have an hospital appointment in the morning. If there is going to be any difficulties with the app during the podcast I will be open and honest about it because I want every one to know about it's positive points and it's short comings just so that we as a group can discuss it and may be take it further by contacting Nokia in the long run.

I've decided to use my N97 Mini as it has high quality sound. Itwill be recorded in Mp4. This is an option within the voice recorder. Sadly the weather has put pay to my podcasting today as we have showers with highwinds. I was hoping to do it today. I'm going to use the Nokia headset for this task as I can clip the microphone to my shirt. That way I can hold my other phone without having to place it in my pocket. The recording devicecan sit in my pocket instead with the microphone clipped on to my clothing.My Twitter page is www.twitter.com/saqib1975 MSN Saqib500@xxxxxxxxxxx -------------------------------------------------- From: "All formats" <allformats@xxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, March 22, 2010 11:17 AM To: <talks-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: [talks-uk] Re: Nokia Ovi Maps3.3 full interface descriptionYour MP3 will probably be the best to use to be honest. If it has record function, it will likely be better than your phone anyway and you can have the mic sticking out a top pocket or something and then be free to use your cane and phone! I'm a power Podcaster so, have an idea of how best to do these things if it helps. If you upload your file to sendspace or somewhere similar, I'll edit it for you too if you want! Just let me know.

I will do this tomorrow. I just need one piece of advice. I don't have any recording equipment. I don't think I can use the recording facility on my E72 while I'm navogating but I could be wrong on that. I have a none speach Samsung Mp3 player in which I can use. I will play around with the devices today to see which piece of equipment can produce the best sound quality. I will demonstrate this App on a local walk in my area. I'm a long cane user so I can only hold one device at a time and the recorder in the phone would of been ideal. I will get back to you all when I've decided on my method of recording.

I can search for a location and navogate to that search result. I can select from a list of favourites and achieve the same. I can save a location when in none navogation mode or even in navogation mode. It only takes one keystroke to save a location. Press number 2 when in navogation mode. The street names and directional instructions will be automatically be announced but you can always press number 4 to get theannouncement to be repeeted.The zoom in funtion is quite helpfull as the remaining distance and turning is displayed in large font in the middle of the screen along withthe cumpus pointer.My Twitter page is www.twitter.com/saqib1975 MSN Saqib500@xxxxxxxxxxx From: Darren Harris <mailto:darren_g_harris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, March 20, 2010 12:08 PM To: talks-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [talks-uk] Re: Nokia Ovi Maps3.3 full interface description 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? -----Original Message----- From: talks-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:talks-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Saqib Sent: 20 March 2010 12:02 To: talks-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [talks-uk] Re: Nokia Ovi Maps3.3 full interface description 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.

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 indetail 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.__________ Information from ESET Smart Security, version of virus signature database 4958 (20100319) __________ The message was checked by ESET Smart Security. http://www.eset.com __________ Information from ESET Smart Security, version of virus signature database 4958 (20100319) __________ The message was checked by ESET Smart Security. http://www.eset.com
