00:00You asked for it. You get it.
00:03Indigo and a half.
00:04Pop two.
00:14Hello, everybody, and welcome back to another exciting edition of Tech Connect.
00:18And today we are going off-piste.
00:20We are going outside to experience the glory of Milwaukee in late fall.
00:26Corey, are you excited?
00:27Actually, I was sort of dreading until we saw the weather today,
00:31and it's actually halfway decent out.
00:32Yep, 64 degrees, so it should be nice.
00:35Why are we doing this, I hear you ask.
00:36Well, the point is Indigo Nav Part 2.
00:40For those who are keen watchers of the channel,
00:42you will know that we released an Indigo Nav Part 1 video recently
00:45where we talked about this navigation app, which has got some cool features.
00:49You should go and watch that video if you haven't.
00:51But we did ask the question in that video,
00:53do people want a second video where we actually go outside and use it?
00:57And what did the people say, Corey?
00:59Yeah, if you've got time.
01:01No, they said yes, please.
01:03So we will be covering a couple of things today.
01:05We're going to show creating a route.
01:08We're going to show what it sounds like when you're on route.
01:10And then we're also going to do an unfamiliar off-route waypoint.
01:17Wayfinding?
01:18Way something.
01:20So we'll be doing that as well.
01:22All right, so without further ado,
01:23let's get outside and see what Indigo Nav is all about.
01:29All right, we're standing outside Vision Forward,
01:32and we're going to head to the park
01:33because what else do you do on a beautiful, sunny November day you go to the park?
01:37Yeah.
01:37So let's open up Indigo Nav.
01:40Open Indigo Nav.
01:45There it is.
01:46I remember that noise.
01:46You remember that sound?
01:47Yep.
01:48All right, if you watched our last video,
01:50then we know we're going to go down into the tabs at the bottom.
01:53We're going to choose the route tab.
01:56Route tab.
01:57Back West Well Street, 5532.
01:59And we have a couple of options here to create a route.
02:02We want the address one.
02:04Home.
02:04But points of interest.
02:05Button.
02:05Street address.
02:06Button.
02:06Search here.
02:08We got ourselves a nice search field,
02:10and we're going to look for Doyne Park.
02:12Cap F.
02:13Cap D.
02:13Cap D.
02:14O.
02:14O.
02:14Y.
02:15Y.
02:15E.
02:15E.
02:15E.
02:15N.
02:16So I'm typing it in as we speak.
02:18A.
02:18A.
02:19R.
02:19R.
02:19J.
02:20K.
02:21K.
02:21And it's hard to hear because it's very loud out here.
02:24But let's see if we got a result.
02:26Doyne Park.
02:265300 West Well Street.
02:27There it is.
02:285300 West Well Street.
02:29So we'll choose it.
02:31All right, now we have some options to choose what type of route do we want.
02:34We can choose from pedestrian, driving, transit, Uber.
02:39But we're going to be walking, so let's choose pedestrian.
02:41Oh, really?
02:41I thought we were going to take a helicopter.
02:42Well, we could do that.
02:43That's actually not one of the options.
02:44All right, there you go.
02:45Pedestrian.
02:46Let's tap it, and it'll create the route for us.
02:48Okay, let's create.
02:54There you go.
02:555 miles to destination.
02:555 miles to destination.
02:56Facing direction is south.
02:57Proceed straight.
02:58Start going south on Anholy Road toward W.L.
03:00Street in 200 feet.
03:02Turn left.
03:02All right, so we got some really good information there letting us know how far away it is, how
03:06long it's going to take, and what our first step is.
03:09Now, real quick before we start, if we swipe through this, there is an option for more information.
03:14If we go in, then we're actually going to see each step laid out, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, all
03:19the way through however many steps it is, so you can actually review your complete route
03:25before you get going.
03:26But let's rock.
03:27Are you ready?
03:27I'm relying on you.
03:28Let's go for it.
03:34Turn left on W. Wells Street in 116 feet, destination 7 o'clock, east.
03:40Oh, we even get a little blinker noise.
03:42Check that out.
03:43I like it.
03:43All right, so it's telling us to turn left on W.S.
03:46Oh, okay, okay.
03:47See how good his cane skills are here.
03:49Oh, come up.
03:50Here we go.
03:51Oh, very good.
03:52Oh, thank you.
03:59Oh, we got our blinker noise.
04:00Hey, we're turning left.
04:03Okay, turn left, buddy.
04:05I'm following you here on the left.
04:07Follow me or are you following?
04:08Okay.
04:09I'm following you.
04:09We're going to turn left right now.
04:11You could trail.
04:11There's a grass verge on the left if you want me to trail it.
04:19This should take us right down to the parking lot.
04:21Oh, it just told us to continue straight.
04:23Oh, okay.
04:24Oh, thanks for the heads up.
04:25There are plenty of times when you might want to create a route to a place that is not on
04:34a map.
04:34It just so happens, Corey, actually, I need the bathroom, and I do see there's a port-a-potty
04:37over there in front of us.
04:39So maybe we could create a map to a map to a map to a map.
04:41You didn't know this, but I have a mission in life to go to every port-a-potty in every
04:44park in the world.
04:45How many have you done so far?
04:47Oh, this will be our first.
04:48So let's work out.
04:49All right.
04:50So I am on the route tab here, and I'm going to swipe over to waypoint.
04:53Waypoint route.
04:54Button.
04:55And we'll tap that.
04:56Record new waypoint route.
04:57Button.
04:58And our first option here is record new waypoint route or record, depending if you're a record
05:04or a record.
05:05And we're going to do this and then walk through it once so that it learns what the route is.
05:10Name.
05:11All right.
05:12We're going to give it a name.
05:15First port-a-potty on my mission to meet all port-a-potties.
05:19Why am I meeting them?
05:20I was going to say, are you like having a conversation?
05:22Are you going to sit down and have tea?
05:24All right.
05:25Let's swipe right.
05:26And we'll save it.
05:27Save.
05:28Waypoint one.
05:29First port-a-potty on my mission to meet all port-a-potties is 10 o'clock.
05:32North zero feet.
05:33All right.
05:34So let's walk it.
05:35Okay.
05:36Let's go.
05:37We're going to go over some grass here, first of all.
05:39Concrete.
05:40We're walking across a basketball court here.
05:42Okay.
05:43And we want to make sure that the dangerous part is there is a basketball net.
05:46Now we're just going to skirt it just on our right here.
05:49Now, if I'm not mistaken, while you're recording these routes, you can actually add waypoints along
05:55the route too.
05:56Oh, very nice.
05:57So if you wanted one there as a, you know, heads up that you need to walk around it.
06:01There she is.
06:02You want to say hello?
06:03Hello.
06:04Now let's stop the recording.
06:05Right.
06:06So, so far so good.
06:07But, uh, yeah.
06:08Port-a-potty.
06:09We'd have to see how well this works.
06:10Inserted port-a-potty.
06:11Save.
06:12Okay.
06:13So we saved our waypoint.
06:14Back button.
06:15Waypoint route.
06:16Heading.
06:17Location.
06:18Button.
06:19Waypoint 3.
06:20Port-a-potty is ahead.
06:21Waypoint 1.
06:22Waypoint 3.
06:23Port-a-potty.
06:24All right.
06:25So we have created our waypoint route.
06:26Yeah.
06:27Just in time, Cowie.
06:28I have to say.
06:29I'll see you later.
06:30I wouldn't go in there if I were you.
06:32Oh, oh.
06:33Hey, Cowie.
06:34What's going on there, buddy?
06:35I'm too lazy to walk.
06:36All that walking from the park.
06:37So I'm just rolling in on the track.
06:38Hey, what's up?
06:39Rolling up.
06:40Oh, wow.
06:41Uh, listen, Cowie.
06:42I know that you fed up with walking, but I have a little bit of an issue.
06:43Okay.
06:44Uh, I can't find my wallet.
06:45Pretty sure I left it in that port-a-potty.
06:46That is a you problem.
06:47It is.
06:48I'm going to make it into another problem, though.
06:49Okay.
06:50This is my suggestion.
06:51Okay.
06:52Okay.
06:53Uh, I can't find my wallet.
06:54Pretty sure I left it in that port-a-potty.
06:55That is a you problem.
06:56It is.
06:57I'm going to make it into another problem, though.
06:58Okay.
06:59This is my suggestion.
07:00Okay.
07:01I'm going to drive us down to the park and then, you know, that waypoint move that we
07:04created?
07:05Yes.
07:06Yeah.
07:07I'm going to have you just use that.
07:08You can walk out to that port-a-potty and pick up my wallet for me.
07:10Will you buy lunch?
07:11Mmm.
07:12Sure.
07:13All right.
07:14Deal.
07:15Let's do it.
07:16Let's do it.
07:17All right.
07:18I agreed to go get Luke's wallet, even though it's in the port-a-potty, but that's okay.
07:22We have a waypoint route recorded, so let's just go to our routes tab here.
07:26Roots tab.
07:27Back button.
07:28And let's find waypoint.
07:29Create route.
07:30Look around.
07:31GPS.
07:32Home.
07:33Points event.
07:34Street address.
07:35Contact.
07:36Waypoint route.
07:37Here we go.
07:38Record new waypoint route.
07:39And let's see if we can find an existing.
07:40Swipe right.
07:41Load existing waypoint route.
07:42There we go.
07:43Load existing waypoint route.
07:44Add waypoint.
07:45Dimmed.
07:46Button.
07:47And let's see if we can find ours.
07:48First port-a-potty on my mission to meet all port-a-potties.
07:49That's the one.
07:50Let's tap on here.
07:51First port-a-potty on my mission to meet all port-a-potties.
07:545,300.
07:55Story Hill.
07:56Milwaukee.
07:57Wisconsin is 11 o'clock.
07:58East 166 feet.
07:59All right.
08:00So it tells us our first waypoint on our route is a little bit at 11 o'clock.
08:06I think it said 300 and some feet.
08:08So let's get going and see if we can find it.
08:11All right.
08:12I think I'm getting kind of close.
08:21I'm going to stop and let's check our waypoint.
08:24Waypoint three.
08:25Quarter-potty is 11 o'clock.
08:27Northeast 11 feet.
08:28All right.
08:29We know we're close.
08:30We're going to make that turn.
08:32And oh, I think we're here.
08:36Waypoint three.
08:37Quarter-potty is ahead.
08:38North three feet.
08:39Three feet.
08:40But it's not really three feet.
08:41I'm here.
08:42All right.
08:43Wish me luck.
08:44I'm going to go in.
08:45I'm going to see if I can find his wallet.
08:47Oh, my God.
08:51It's gross in here.
08:53Oh, help me.
08:54Oh, here's his wallet.
08:56Aha.
08:57Success.
08:58Well, Corey, you did successfully find my wallet, but I have to say there was quite a bit of editing magic that went into that.
09:08Yeah.
09:09I'll be honest.
09:10It probably, well, I don't even know how it's going to look after editing, but we did have an issue with the waypoint route.
09:15I like the idea.
09:16I don't know.
09:17Two things.
09:18Yeah.
09:19I don't know if we were doing it wrong.
09:20And if we were, I went, you went to look up the Indigo Nav user guide online and couldn't access it.
09:27I tried using under settings going to help.
09:30There's an audio tutorial and a user manual, but neither of those would load either.
09:35Yeah.
09:36So we may be doing the waypoint routes wrong.
09:39And if we are, please put it down in the comments and let us know how we're doing it wrong.
09:43Well, people won't know because we're going to make it look so smooth.
09:46I don't even think they can make that look smooth.
09:48It was a bit of a nightmare trying to get it to work.
09:51It was.
09:52But other than that, Corey, how did you find the app?
09:54Yeah.
09:55I mean, okay.
09:56So from a GPS perspective, great.
09:57It does a good job.
09:58I like some of the sound cues.
10:00The blinker is kind of cool when turns are coming.
10:02So everything I like, the only two issues was one we just talked about the waypoint.
10:06The other one I had an issue with was a bit of it when it's announcing streets as you approach them.
10:12I would prefer my own preference.
10:15I would like them to announce the street, maybe 30, 40 feet ahead of you saying approaching such and such street in 40 feet.
10:24Even if you're not turning on it, it gives you a heads up that you've got a street coming.
10:27Yeah.
10:28But instead, in the demo, you saw we were pretty much at the street, if not a couple of feet into the street before it announced it.
10:39So not a huge deal, more maybe of a personal preference for me.
10:43All right, Corey.
10:44Well, with that being said, I think we have done our work for today.
10:46So why don't we get out of here?
10:48Yeah, I think we're going to get out of here.
10:49Yeah.
10:50And guess what?
10:51What?
10:52I think I'm driving.
10:53What?
10:54It's a good job he's got Indigo Nav.
10:56That's all I can say.
11:00I got my cane too.
11:01So don't you worry about that.
11:03I feel so safe.
11:04Oh, I'm too tall.
11:09All right, Corey.
11:10Whenever you're ready.
11:11No one needs seat belts.
11:13Let's go.
11:18The ending scene is a joke that is not meant to be taken as safety advice.
11:22Vision Forward does not recommend folks drive while blind, even while using the Indigo Nav app.
11:27It's because of the strikeouts.
11:28You must be scared of the other.
11:29You must be scared of the other.
11:31Can't sit down?
11:32I snored in the building.
11:33Okay.
11:34I'm so sorry.
11:35You will see the end of here.
11:36I could say that in the first place.
11:37You can think of the hole in the bottom.
11:38There's no one's going to be careful.
11:39You're never going to be careful.
11:40You're going to be careful.
11:41You're going to focus.
11:42That's the way that you're going to find a vector.
11:43How the stream is going to be called?
11:44What's going on?
11:45You'll have to choose.
11:47The top of this plan is the top of this plan.
11:49That's the top of this plan.
