Lost Again?? Another Look at the Free Indigo Nav App! (Part 2!)

We here at Vision Forward want to wish all you Tech Connectors a very Merry Christmas! We read your wish lists in the comment section and now we are giving you your present early!

Cory and Luke are back at it again! Bringing you the knowledge you need to safely get where you want to go this winter. That's right, we are taking another look at the free Indigo Nav App available for iOS and Android!

For those who missed it, here is a link to our Part 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LY6oyVMLLVU

This time, your favorite Assistive Technology Specialists will demonstrate how to use this app in the real world. We are taking to the sidewalks and even going off road to show you how you can use this app to navigate yourself to a specific address as well as a custom destination point that might not exist on a map.

Like its predecessor, Nearby Explorer, Indigo Nav uses GPS to provide turn by turn instructions, but this time you'll receive additional information to provide a better understanding of your surroundings. You'll hear the names of upcoming intersections and you even get your own turn signal! And just like Nearby Explore, you can use the Look Around Wand feature to get a brief description of anything you point your phone at.

That's not all! The real value of Indigo Nav is the ease by which you can search, save and store various locations. Obviously you'll want to program in your home address to navigate back to, but you could just as easily save and name any spot you visit! Searching is easy too, either enter a street address, browse nearby locations or draw information directly from your Contacts and you'll be on your way in no time!
