Fixed issues that caused a crash on some versions of Android.
Description
Intersection Explorer speaks the layout of the streets and intersections in neighborhoods as you touch and drag your finger around the map. This helps blind and low vision users get an understanding of a neighborhood both before venturing out and while on the go.
To use Intersection Explorer:
* Start at your current location or enter a new location from the menu
* Touch the screen to speak the streets at the nearest intersection
* Drag your finger along a compass direction or drag in a circle to speak each street that you cross with their compass direction
* Move to the next intersection on the street by lifting your finger
* Use in conjunction with WalkyTalky from the Eyes-Free project, and Walking directions and Places in Google Maps to get a new level of access in the physical world

My legally blind (retinitis pigmentosa) mom loves her Android. However, we cannot figure out this program...Good concept though.

Does not give accurate information. Used wifi and all available gps on device and still gave wrong info. No settings to help and can't move map.

Wow. Really? How/why would a blind person be using a touchscreen phone? ITS A FLAT SCREEN! THERE ARE NO BUTTONS (for the most part..)! Uninstalled

They should have made it so that blind people can move their finger around and it speaks where their finger is ... but still useless with that too
