Other Comments
As stated below, I have contacted the developer, and they seem incredibly interested in fixing the problems with the navigation screen. They asked me what they specificly needed to do to make that part of the app read so that they could get things fixed very quickly. I told them I wasn't sure, but would check, so, if any of you out there know the ins and outs of this stuff, drop the developers a line and let them know, so they can get the ball roling on this.
Accessibility Comments
The app is 99.999% accessible. Once you start a route, the route navigation page is completely 100% inaccessible. The good thing, however is you do get audible feedback turn by turn directions, so for that reason, it's worth the investment. If it weren't for that, I'd say don't get it.
