considering the age of this app, I'm not sure its still relevant. whenever I try to use it, all it really does is pull up Google Maps and that is what actually does the navigating, not this app itself. does that seem confusing to anybody other than myself in light of the description? that's why I only give this app a two star rating.

This is a great App. Its built-in compass points me in the correct direction and the App.'s feedbacks helps me know my location: whether I am on the correct street. Without WalkyTalky, I am lost.

For those questioning the usefulness of this app... It hooks into Google Navigation (which does the actual routing work) and periodically announces your current location via a status bar notification so you always know where you are. You need one of the SpeechSynthesis apps to get the most out of this. Not this app's fault, but I wish the ENG-GBR text-to-speech was a bit smarter about common names and street abbreviations... "near 3 Van Gogh Pl" sounds like "near 3 van goggle"

Don't understand why I need this when I could go into Navigation & choose walking directions & it would do the same thing. It does what it says tho.

it's a nice idea, might be useful (especially for mobility challanged) if more reliable info was available and it could be trusted

Ironically, those *without* visual impairments rarely have the vision to see what your hard work will surely mean to those that do: Thank you ~;-)
