There are specialty programs for blind and visually impaired for GPS navigation but they tied to adaptive hardware and in the $2K to $5K range (USD).
If anyone has used PDA navigation software as a pedestrian, using the different types of voice output and has any comments I would like to hear them. If there is an interest, perhaps we can move them to a new topic.

OCN6 provides both Pedestrian and Bicycle mode as routing choices but the challenge is for the "visually impaired" person to enter their address before a route is generated. Address is entered via the software keyboard via a touchscreen of your PPC and PPC Phone.
