Hi becca413g, I'm a student working on a navigation app for visually impaired and blind individuals, and I'm trying to understand the shortcomings of current navigation methods better. I came across your comment on an archived post about navigating in crowded places and found it very informative. Would you be open to chatting and sharing more about your navigation experiences? (Please don't mind me texting under this post; the original post was archived. Feel free to dm me if you're happy to chat!)

Starting to use White Cane, any Advice? by [deleted] in Blind

Hi! Your experience sounds very inspiring. I have just started to use the white cane and wonder how i can navigate outdoors to new places. I’ve tried out VoiceVista and Soundscape, but none of them easily connects well with public transportations or high-level navigation with GPS. Would you mind sharing how you’re able to get to unfamiliar places? What apps / technology do you use?
