Here’s what the Perplexity AI app says about Indigo Nav: The Indigo Nav app is a fully accessible turn-by-turn GPS navigation tool designed primarily for blind and low-vision users. It was developed by the **American Printing House for the Blind (APH)**, a nonprofit known for creating accessible educational and navigational products for people who are visually impaired.[5][11]   ### Developer and Origin Indigo Nav evolved from **GoodMaps Outdoors**, which itself was built upon the legacy of the **Nearby Explorer** GPS app. Development leadership includes figures such as Mike May, a long-time accessibility technology advocate and developer in orientation and mobility tools. The app was officially rebranded “Indigo Nav” in 2025 under APH’s direction.[2][3][5]   ### Key Features Indigo Nav offers a robust set of accessibility-focused navigation tools, including: – **Turn-by-turn navigation** with voice guidance and haptic alerts for orientation and route feedback.[1][4] – **Waypoint recording (breadcrumbs)** allowing users to create custom routes by manually or automatically adding navigation markers as they travel.[4][1] – **LookAround Wand**, which announces nearby points of interest (POIs) and intersections when the phone is pointed in a direction.[1][5] – **Virtual Location Mode**, enabling simulation of navigation from a chosen point to explore areas remotely.[5] – **Transit routing** with nearby stop detection and public transit integration.[1][5] – **Morse code-based haptic feedback** patterns for orientation cues.[5] – **Customizable visual and auditory settings**, such as color contrast, vibration intensity, and verbosity levels.[1][5] – **Integration with GoodMaps Indoor venues** for seamless transition between outdoor and indoor navigation environments.[5][1]   ### Platform Availability Indigo Nav is available for **iOS and Android** devices: – **Apple App Store**: apps.apple.com/app/indigo-nav/id945756779 – **Google Play Store**: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.goodmaps.outdoors.[11][4]   ### Website and Developer Information The app’s developer website and primary organization are: – **Developer**: American Printing House for the Blind (APH) – **Website**: [www.aph.org](https://www.aph.org)   In summary, Indigo Nav continues the mission of accessible navigation technology for blind and visually impaired travelers, combining outdoor and simulated navigation with innovative feedback systems and integration with the GoodMaps platform.[4][11][1][5]   [1](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/indigo-nav/id945756779) [2](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4o9JcgdzJ-I) [3](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BbxxSm-ZGGo) [4](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.goodmaps.outdoors&hl=en_US) [5](https://apps.apple.com/ca/app/indigo-nav/id945756779) [6](https://aviationweek.com/aerospace/emerging-technologies/indigo-unveils-new-look-its-website-mobile-app) [7](https://www.tomtom.com/newsroom/press-releases/general/234129097/introducing-tomtom-indigo-the-world-s-first-open-digital-cockpit-software-platform-for-carmakers/) [8](https://www.facebook.com/groups/1314505679726703/posts/1548656742978261/) [9](https://www.indigo-astronomy.org) [10](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ca.indigo&hl=en_ZA) [11](https://www.appbrain.com/appstore/indigo-nav/ios-945756779) [12](https://developer.goindigo.in) [13](https://www.tomtom.com/newsroom/press-releases/general/234281396/tech-leaders-partner-with-tomtom-to-transform-the-digital-cockpit-experience-through-tomtom-indigo/) [14](https://indigotulsa.com/app-development/) [15](https://www.eejournal.com/article/headline-will-carmakers-adopt-tomtoms-indigo-open-integrated-digital-cockpit-software-platform/) Presenter contact info: Email: MM@MikeMay.org
