About BlindSquare Enabled Airports
MIPsoft, makers of BlindSquare, the most used
waypoint navigation solution for persons who are
blind or partially sighted, has created a
special version of BlindSquare, made available
for use when entering or exiting BlindSquare Enabled Airports.
Access is enabled through the
<https://www.google.com/url?q=http://bit.ly/bsqevent&sa=D&ust=1526611622233000>BlindSquare
Event
app<https://www.google.com/url?q=http://bit.ly/bsqevent&sa=D&ust=1526611622233000>,
available for free on the iTunes store.
Travellers arriving at BlindSquare Enabled
Airports, whether by ground or air, will be able
to activate BlindSquare Airport Event
automatically be provided with free use,
regardless of location and continue with the
support of BlindSquare EVENT for the next 7 days.
* When arriving by ground (for departure), or
by air (on arrival), BlindSquare Airport EVENT
is ready for use at ANY destination airport on
the globe. This, to assist in completing the
journey to connect to ground transportation on
arrival, hotels, meetings, places to eat and
places of fun, supported with all the tools of
BlindSquare and 105,000,000+ points of interest
globally. When returning to any sponsored
airport, the 7 day counter is renewed, for another 7 days.

At BlindSquare Enabled Airports:
* BlindSquare’s value begins when stepping
outside and connecting to GPS satellites.
* BlindSquare will also make available
scheduled flight information, with the caveat
that for most airports this information should be
used with caution as this information does not include live updates.
* For airports covered with Apple Maps
indoors, the service will enable the creation of
personal points of interest (POIs) in a manner identical to travel outdoors.
* Travellers arriving at BlindSquare Enabled
Airports, whether by ground or air, will be able
to activate BlindSquare Airport Event and
automatically be provided with free use of the
app for the next seven days. This access remains
active when the user arrives at their
destination, regardless of whether that airport
is BlindSquare Enabled – so that users can
complete their journey and connect to local
ground transportation, hotels and amenities. When
returning to any sponsored airport, app access is
renewed for another seven days to facilitate the journey home.
Join us, in the celebration of independent travel
as the ribbon is cut on
<https://www.google.com/url?q=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Accessibility_Awareness_Day&sa=D&ust=1526611622235000>Global
Accessibility Awareness day 2017. Press releases
will be released in tandem with national
blindness organizations in Canada and New Zealand
(Canadian National Institute for the Blind (CNIB)
and Blind Foundation) and the US sponsor (Bank of America).
Example Story:
A traveller arrives at a BlindSquare Enabled
Airport by car. BlindSquare EVENT is started (or
newly downloaded) from the
<https://www.google.com/url?q=http://bit.ly/bsqevent&sa=D&ust=1526611622236000>iTunes
store. EVENT is automatically “enabled for use
for 7 days”. The traveller flies to any world
destination, knowing that they will continue to
have access to EVENT for 7 days to complete their
journey on arrival. Step outside, and things
become easy and entertaining. Hailing an UBER,
picking a restaurant, searching for an address or
a feature of interest - all at their
fingertips. This, regardless of location and
regardless if the destination airport is BlindSquare Enabled.
When they fly back to their home airport, EVENT
is restarted and automatically “recharged” for 7
more days, to support the continuation of their journey, home.
Step outside, the world is described as the
journey continues. This, to encourage and
support independent travel for persons who are
blind/partially sighted, freely offered.
