Intersector: Intersection Identifier

Does this app describe intersection layout? I’ve primarily relied on BlindSquare since Microsoft shutdown the Soundscape app. BlindSquare provides much of the functionality described for Intersector, but not the orientation information Soundscape used to.

These days we have soundscape community (a more straightforward fork) and voice vista (more complex one but with the same core as soundscape).

There's another app called Oko, and then there are others. Scattered efforts here and there, some free, some paid, some abandoned after a while because much of their functionality overlap with or can be fulfilled by other apps that are often newer and maintained by global corporations, some only address certain users or regions. Some developers really want to do something useful but don't know what to do and how to do it, and some can't even reach out to the blind and visually-impaired community or otherwise get noticed by us. Some release nothing and either charge a shocking price for it, or more recently, transition to a subscription model on grounds that they need more money to maintain their worthless niche app. Some just stop updating their apps or remove them from the App Store, either because of arbitrary or otherwise personal reasons, or because they can't compete with other larger or more established companies who can promote their app and handle Apple's payment demands more easily. And here's the result: Numerous new apps introduced to us on AppleVis in excitement, only to disappear from the App store after a while. Why can't someone just combine all of these things, or at least certain relevant ones, and make one single app that more users can download for one purpose or another, and the developer doesn't have to beg for money or exploit our disability? Do sighted users ever get worried about Apple Maps no longer being bundled in the OS as a built-in app, or Google Maps being removed from the App Store? We're even unhappy and worried about VoiceOver, the built-in screen reader and all of its bugs, but do sighted users ever have to worry about the screen or camera(s) stopping functioning, being removed from new devices, or otherwise being problematic?

GPS for blind people seem toalways be such a battery drain because we don't have one single app that does what wee would like. A lot of people use Blind Square, but I don't, because it has to be used in conjunction with another to get full GPS info. It does not provide turn by turn info, and, from what I can tell, this app doesn't either. One fully functional GPS app would be less of a battery hog. Apps change their name and functionality or they just disappear once they are pretty near perfect, as with Nearby Explorer, which was expensive but good, then Nearby Explorer Online for free. Good Maps, which was lousy for outdoor navigation, Good Maps Indoors, then another name. I could mention others, but you get the point. If the app of this discussion gets expanded to be a full blown GPS, and remains decently priced for low income blind people, I will like it more than I do, now. But, like I say, this does, for the time being, look pretty good for what it does.
