Hi,

I know from many previous posts that many of you have been using your iPhone to 
orient yourselves around unfamiliar environments, including finding doorways, 
shops, businesses etc.  I’m in this position now that I have to be able to find 
a a particular doorway/entrance, in a row of entrances in a street.  I want to 
ask you how you accomplish this, what navigation software you use & how 
accurate it is.  I’ve just tried Google Maps but it informed me I had arrived 
at my destination about a hundred of steps before I actually found the door 
almost having to feel for it doorway by doorway.  This was a bit humiliating.  
There are so many navigation apps that I’m truly lost - Lazarillo being the 
latest I’ve seen.  How can I walk along a street and find with a good degree of 
accuracy the entrance I need? 

Also, I feel that if I want to use my iPhone to navigate round town, I need a 
bluetooth headset that wouldn’t muffle other sounds that may be crucial for my 
safety.  What do you use/recommend?  I am a long cane user by the way so all 
this has to do with walking.  Feel free to email me off-list.

Many thanks

Andrew
