App Description

Blind in the City / Blind in Rio is a navigation tool based on the Munich Orientation Convention.

It divides the city like a cake into 12 sectors and also lets you know location codes, making it easier to answer the question "where?" than with names, post codes,
lat/lon or ìhereî on maps.

This app works with GPS and VoiceOver, includes a compass and also lets know the direction to the centre of town. With this, anyone can VolksNavigate(c), that means, guide himself around the Statue of Christ: inwards/outwards and clockwise/counter clockwise.

Blind in the city is suitable for all those who can't or donít like to read maps and/or prefer to deal with 12 instead of 360 directions. The main benefits are a higher awareness for locations, directions, distances and angles, a common language for all nations and a self-guiding in many cases.

Other apps for cities acc. to www.volksnav.de/mapplet will be released.
