Can app or gps help a blind person to be active?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: Depending on the level of diminished vision, certain aids can help someone get around. Although gps can help, it requires a fair degree of good vision (to read the screen or find the landmarks the device is describing). A good resource is your local eye doctor or community vision rehabilitation center.
