[NFBWATlk] More voice guidance in google maps

[David Bouchard]

> Several of us are definitely interested in better mapping capabilities. What if we could convince Google and AIRA to come to an agreement in which Google Maps is an AIRA access offer. In this way, we could immediately start looking at street views, Google satellite views, public transportation maps, and all other types of maps. Those use cases alone would be enough for me, but it would also be great to get assistance actually navigating. there is so much information on Google maps which is in accessible to us.
