[Accessibility] How to map parts of tactile paving and other feature?

[Ginger Claassen]

Hi Lulu-Ann and all,

I think the navigation application Voxtrek is also based on OSM data and 
kind of good accessible. I baught it for 2,39 Euro and installed it but 
had not yet the chance to really study it. But I read on the German 
iPhone accessible list that it should work well.

If you want to test LoroDux Alpha on a jailbreaked iPhone 3GS or 4 and you have a bluetooth GPS receiver additionally to the internal one, let me know, I will send you a version for your hometown.
