Ariadne GPS is an application, available on iOS, that offers the possibility of knowing the position of the terminal that has it installed and obtaining information about the street, the number, etc., as well as exploring the map of its surroundings. An added value of great interest of this GPS is that the interaction with the application is through "speech", that is, it will interact with a spoken map. The user can scroll with within the map by scrolling with the finger, and the things in front are displayed in the upper half of the screen and the things behind you are in the lower half of the screen.

 

This app also has other useful features that can help you walk or travel by bus, train, etc. And if favorite points are added to the application database, you can be alerted when you get closer than a certain distance from one of them. This application is fully accessible via VoiceOver and gives you access to information that is not normally available to people who use the speech synthesizer and therefore can be especially useful for the blind and visually impaired.
