Store description excerpt

WalkersGuide is a navigational aid primarily intended for blind and visual impaired pedestrians. It calculates routes and shows nearby points of interest. The project consists of an Android client and a server component. The latter performs the route calculation. The map data is provided by OpenStreetMap, a project to create a free map of the world. Main app features: * Based on chosen start and destination the server calculates a route, which is optimized for walkers. Source for start and destination can be the current position, an address, a point of interest or the point history. * You can prioritise certain way classes to get a more accessible route. For example you may prefer secondary instead of primary streets to avoid complex intersections and reduce traffic noise. * You get continuous feedback about distance and bearing of the next routing point. * When you reach an intersection, you can query information about the name, condition and bearing of their streets in realtime. * Besides the routing functionality the application also offers a list of nearby points of interest. This includes shops, public buildings, bus and train stations, intersections, traffic signals and some more. * You can simulate every distant point like an address in another town or country. The application behaves as if you are really there. So it's possible to explore the next route destination while still at home. * You can add personal favorites to mark important points, record routes and open GPX files. The application is fully accessible with Android's screen reader Talkback. Please visit https://www.walkersguide.org for more information.
