About Indigo Nav
It has all the outdoor navigation features you expect plus unique offerings you cannot get
anywhere else including extra verbosity for blind users.
Features:
Four main tabs are easy to access at the bottom of the screen.
Routes, Location, POIs and settings
Indigo has the option to explore POIs or route turning points virtually.
Transit Routes can be created and nearby transit stops will be announced.
A unique Indigo feature: record a route using breadcrumbs called Waypoints. No other accessible
app has this. You can add these waypoints with the Add Button or you can shake the phone to
create a waypoint. It also automatically records a point after you have gone a certain distance.
These waypoint routes can be saved for future use.
The LookAround Wand in the upper right corner tells you what is in the direction your phone is
pointing. The More Info button on the Location screen gives the altitude and speed.
Create your own POIs and share your POIs with others or keep them private with a shortcut on
the Location page or from the POIs page. POI categories are announced with search results and
make finding your destination easier.
Audio tones and vibrations give feedback throughout the app letting you know about upcoming
turns, critical intersection information and when search is loading
A robust route menu includes multiple methods of choosing a destination starting with a POI
and an address from your contact list, your route history and many more.
Settings include many customization options like vibrations, vision contrast, color settings and
distance units.
There are announcement options like right/left, clockface, or both.

Good app with great potential
I will say before I write this that I haven’t used this app in a few months because of the issue I’m about to talk about… That being said this app is a good app with great potential. However, a major issue that I was having with this while working with an orientation and mobility instructor, was that when putting in addresses and locations, POI’s. When it was giving me directions, it seemed to be several hundred feet off base when getting near the location. For example, if I tried to go to the library and put in that address, it would take me 2 to 300 feet away from the library when I got close and I wouldn’t actually get to the library. This was pretty consistent. It least in my area. This is kind of a big deal but if this could be fixed and again it may be I haven’t used it in a few months, then this app can do great things. I’m in northeastern PA for context.

I really love this app!!!!!!! Thanks to APH for this app. I hope it will stay around for years to come!
Madison is Great
It doesn't speak
It doesn't speak,meaning you can only get feedback manually using VoiceOver instead of it updating on its own. Lookaround doesn't say where things are in relation to you, or what you're facing as opposed to nearest to. You can't view what all areas are around you.

Considering adjust text size
Sure, here's the revised version: I would like to express my sincere appreciation for the way Good Map developers cater to those with low vision, like myself. I highly value the high contrast mode and the large labels on the screen to guide me while navigating. Keep up the excellent work!

Fails too announce to many streets!
Will not announce all streets when riding a city bus. Other apps do announce those streets.
