Sažetak
The availability and full functionality of mobile devices represent one of the basic principles of universal design for the visually impaired. Navigation applications for the users must also be customized and are available to the users’ needs. In this paper, the software and hardware characteristics of the currently most used mobile devices were analyzed. Applications for managing and directing the blind and visually impaired transport network have been analyzed in terms of determining the accuracy of the location where the users are located. The applications that are the most common among the users according to the Croatian Association for Promotion and Development of Tiflotechnic (HUPRT) were used. This sample of subjects has been made in Zagreb where according to data there are 1985 visually impaired people. To conclude, the recommendations have been made for the development of information and communication services and mobile devices for the visually impaired.
