We tested three GPS navigation product for the iPhone and found only
Navigon MobilNavigator to be accessible to the blind. The others
tested were not accessible with iPhone VoiceOver.
Navigon MobilNavigator will do just as you ask, plot a rout to a

no browser can support VoiceOver with Flash. That will not happen
until Adobe fixes Flash for VoiceOver something Adobe has publicly

I am one of the authors of Louis and can explain the process.
Your going to need the following:
1. A USB to Serial connector, I would suggest the unit for KeySpan as
I have tested it and know that it works.
2. A null modem cable or a modem cable and a null modem adapter to
connect to it.

That's nonsense Apple is just using the old NFBtrans braille table

Digital talking books can be loaded to most, but not all hardware
devices using teh MacOS finder with USB.

It is possible to use the Daisy Pipeline program to generate an iPod
playlist for the audio files. We ABWA also produce iPod Audiobook
format files as well but this is more work.

A few points about the NLS system. First off it uses a very heavy
encryption on the books as well as a some what unusual audio format.
At this point in time the NLS has refused to permit the authorization
of computer based playback of their books.
At the Association for the Blind of Western
The Daisy standard is hardly a "bizarre format" and when made
correctly the books are playable on existing iPods and other such
devices. The issue here is not Daisy the issue is that NLS and to a
lesser degree RFB&D have chosen to add digital rights management aka
encryption to their books
