Bob, I'm not aware of PDA based navigator programs with a pedestrian mode but I do know some of the A-I-O's do. Specifically I know the Garmin Nuvi 350 does. You'll need one with TTS. Not sure how much I'd trust one though for this application. Good luck.

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.
