NotNav GPS Accessibility

NotNav is an orientation aid for the blind and visually impaired. NotNav was developed by the blind, for the blind.

For GPS navigation with turn-by-turn directions, see the related NowNav Accessibility app

in the Play Store - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smithson.nownav

NotNav continuously announces:

+ Your compass heading

+ The nearest street address

+ Any nearby cross streets or POI

+ Any nearby user defined waypoints.

NotNav uses Android's built in Text To Speech service. NotNav is

optimised for walking.

Highlights:

* it's simple to use.

* Works when the phone screen is off and tucked away out of sight in a

pocket.

* Uses Google's online services. NotNav is ready to go as soon as

its installed - no need to download map data files.

* Uses the same high quality navigation data as Google Maps

* Addresses and Places/POI data available globally, anywhere

Android can get on line

* Only announces eight compass points (North, North East, East etc).

* Has intelligible speech and does not continuously interrupt itself with updates.

* Announces cross streets and POI.

* Allows multiple waypoints to be saved. These may be named, deleted

or made active.

*Nearby active waypoints automatically run or pause NotNav. This may

be used to hands free start NotNav when leaving home, and then

pausing it when arriving at work, for example.
