Description
Intersection Explorer speaks the layout of the streets and intersections in neighborhoods as you touch and drag your finger around the map. This helps blind and low vision users get an understanding of a neighborhood both before venturing out and while on the go.To use Intersection Explorer:
* Start at your current location or enter a new location from the menu
* Touch the screen to speak the streets at the nearest intersection
* Drag your finger along a compass direction or drag in a circle to speak each street that you cross with their compass direction
* Move to the next intersection on the street by lifting your finger
* Use in conjunction with WalkyTalky from the Eyes-Free project, and Walking directions and Places in Google Maps to get a new level of access in the physical world

Beta Like many google apps this is a beta of what could possibly be a very good app. First of all, you should localize the english words such as "currently" and "moved" preferably in an option menu. Because it sounds awfull if you are in a spanish neighbourhood where all the street names are in spanish and your spanish tts voice is trying to pronounce english words! The GPS interface in this app is crazy moving my position by 70- 100 meters while I remain seated at the same spot.

Useless Didn't expect such an app from Google. Maps and street view are much better
