Where Am I With Speech is designed specifically for the visually impaired but anybody can use it as a simple way of finding your current location. The interface only has a few buttons, swipe gestures & shaking of the device. The main feature is that it has speech built in so with a simple shake or double tap it tells you the road or street you are in. If you are near a property, it also says the house number & road / street, postcode / zip code, name of the town or area. On the second Map screen it displays the area you are in & tracks your movement. It reads out the road name you are in & those you pass nearby. Use while walking or while on public transport so useful if you are making an unfamiliar journey on a bus. There is also a Zoom button so it shows the road names. Shaking device turns tracking back on & speaks location. If you double tap with 4 fingers it disables the 2 buttons. This is useful if you want to put your iDevice in a pocket & keep your hands free.
