Ariadne GPS

Explore nearby streets through a VoiceOver-accessible talking map and location monitor.

Our take

Useful as supplementary spatial information for blind or partially sighted users

Touch exploration and saved-point proximity alerts make surroundings available through speech.

Keep in mind: Location and map services can be inaccurate or unavailable; this does not replace mobility training, a cane or trusted navigation assistance.

What you can do

  • VoiceOver map exploration
  • Periodic location information
  • Saved-point proximity alerts

Good for

  • VoiceOver users seeking supplementary surroundings context

Consider alternatives for

  • Sole obstacle avoidance or guaranteed safe routing

Limitations & considerations

  • Captured minimum: iOS 10.0.
  • Location and map services can be inaccurate or unavailable; this does not replace mobility training, a cane or trusted navigation assistance.

Privacy & permissions

Location monitoring and map lookups disclose where you are to system/map services; choose background access deliberately.
