Lazarillo Accessible GPS

Lazarillo Accessible GPS is a groundbreaking navigation app designed specifically for individuals who are blind or have low vision. It offers comprehensive audio guidance to help users explore their surroundings and navigate routes safely and independently.

With Lazarillo, users receive real-time audio announcements about nearby streets, intersections, businesses, and transit stops as they move. The app allows for extensive customization, including voice engine selection, units of measurement, and language preferences, ensuring a tailored experience for each user.

Key features include:

Exploration Mode: Automatically activates upon app launch, providing instant environmental awareness by announcing your current location and nearby points of interest.

Category Search: Helps users find specific types of places such as banks, healthcare facilities, restaurants, and entertainment venues.

Specific Search: Enables routing to any location through voice or keyboard input, with turn-by-turn audio guidance to the destination.

Favorites and Custom Locations: Save frequently visited spots or create custom locations using GPS coordinates for quick access.

Indoor Navigation: Uses Bluetooth beacon technology to guide users through mapped indoor spaces like buildings and complexes where GPS signals are weak.

The app requires location access for outdoor GPS navigation and Bluetooth for indoor positioning. It uses foreground services to ensure uninterrupted audio guidance, even when the app runs in the background or the screen is off. Note that prolonged use may impact battery life.

Lazarillo is completely free to use and relies on a mobile data or Wi-Fi connection. Its mission is to promote autonomy and safety for blind and low-vision users by providing essential environmental information.
