Wow, that is great to hear that it does pass the accessibility test at least. I hope they will see fit to add spoken instructions while in a walking route. Simply beeping to tell you when to turn seems generally not user friendly all the way around and if they can have it speak instructions for a driving route already anyway, what is the point of leaving it out and substituting a beep for it instead? I actually thought I remembered you reporting that app to be inaccessible before, but since you say it is the first version I guess I am confusing it with something else. Your testing and reporting and all the help you contribute with podcasts and reporting and all are much appreciated.
