Alex,

you were only left with nothing if you made the personal choice to stick with 
Symbian...

Neil, agreed, but Maps is certainly better than the nothing we were going to be 
left with at the end of March.

Amy,
 
Wayfinder Access offered full point to point navigation, an around you look 
mode, a nearby mode, the ability to do other GPS functions using the speech 
software on your phone.
 
with OVI you can do point to point, but you cannot learn about what is around 
you as you travel using nearby or around you views.
 
I would say that where 100% represented a perfect GPS solution for the blind, 
something like Sendero GPS or Mobile Geo represents say a 90% solution, maybe 
more. whereas Wayfinder Access was say 40% there, with OVI and speech services 
from Nuance or Code Factory being only 20 - 25% there.
 
those around you or nearby views gave a person a lot of info and were essential 
to public transport usage.

Andy,
 
OVI Maps is not an alternative to Access in terms of a truly accessible GPS 
program, it is though a workable solution to an extent.
 
the issue behind whether or not you'll have to pay for voice guidance is 
dependant on phone model and version of FW that you are running on that phone.
 
thanks.

Hi all
 
I understand that I can use OVI maps as a gps solution to Access, on my N82, 
but have also discovered that there is a charge from Nokia to use the speech 
component of the software, so will Ovi maps work just with TALKS, as in 
pedestrian mode under Access, or will I need to pay for the Nokia voicing 
service? -
