The first application is called WalkyTalky, and it’s pretty straightforward. Fire it up, and the app will prompt you to enter an address or choose from one of your favorite locations. WalkyTalky will begin reading you walking directions aloud, and, unlike the normal Android navigation app, it will also say the names of street addresses as you walk by to help keep your bearings.

The second applications is the appropriately-named Intersection Explorer. After launching the application, you’ll be presented with an interactive map with your current location at the center. By dragging your finger along the screen, you’ll virtually wander through the area as voice cues call out that your finger is heading “West along Market Street” or has “Moved 90 meters to Taylor and Jackson street”. This way you can learn the lay of the land before setting a foot outdoors.

For more on these two applications, be sure to check out the post on the official blog.
