DirectMe

DirectMe is an accessibility app that guides you back to any place you have saved: your car, camp, tent, home, a gate or a person. It was built with and for people with low vision, blindness and limited hearing, and it works with no phone signal at all. Stand where you want to come back to and press START HERE. Later, pick that spot and follow one huge arrow. DirectMe tells you which way to go and how far, on screen, with beeps, with vibration and with a spoken voice, so you can use whichever of those works for you. MADE FOR LOW VISION • One huge arrow and huge numbers, readable at arm's length in full sun • High contrast by default, plus white on black, yellow on black and black on white • Big buttons only. No menus, no small text, no maps you have to read • Looks the same whatever text size your phone is set to • Every button is labelled for VoiceOver and TalkBack MADE FOR LIMITED HEARING • Beeps that differ by count, pitch and ear: 2 low beeps left, 3 high beeps right • Vibration patterns that match the beeps, so you can feel the direction with the phone in a pocket • Clock-face directions ("two o'clock") or left and right, your choice • Spoken directions using your phone's own voice, in your language, at your volume WORKS WITH NO SIGNAL DirectMe uses your phone's GPS, which works in flight mode, out bush and underground car parks on the way out. No account, no internet, no maps to download. Made for prospecting, bushwalking, fishing, camping, farms, festivals and big car parks. HONEST WHEN IT CAN'T BE SURE If the GPS is weak or the compass is being thrown off by metal, DirectMe says so in plain words instead of pointing the wrong way. ALSO • Notes and photos on a spot: a car park level and bay, or a picture of the sign by the lift, read out when you arrive • Share a spot, or where you are standing, by message, so a friend or carer can find you or the car • Where am I: your coordinates in huge text to read out to emergency services • Sweep mode: turn slowly and hear a steady tone when you're facing the right way • Offline radar showing every saved spot around you • Keeps guiding with the screen locked or the phone in a pocket • Choose where the main buttons sit: top, middle or bottom of the screen DIRECTME PRO Save up to ten places, name them yourself (BIG ROCK, BACK GATE), see them on a map, and guide by map, radar or split screen.
