Intersector
An accessibility-first iPhone app with Apple Watch support for quickly identifying nearby intersections, checking direction, and shaping spoken reports around what you want to hear.
Built For Quick Orientation
Nearest Intersection
Get a concise spoken report for the closest mapped intersection from your current location, with optional second and third nearby reports.
Upcoming Intersection
Use your current heading to hear mapped intersection context for what is ahead, including optional follow-up reports for the next few intersections.
Point And Scan
Point the phone toward nearby mapped intersections in your immediate area and receive spoken and optional haptic feedback.
My Direction
Hear the direction the device is facing, with wording that can follow standard compass language or Manhattan Snob Mode.
Custom Announcements
Choose whether reports include distance, direction, and neighborhood context so repeated announcements stay useful.
Apple Watch
Use core Intersector reports from the companion Watch app, including nearest intersection, upcoming intersection, and direction.

Privacy And Map Data
Intersector uses location and heading information to provide intersection, direction, crossing, walking-path, and optional neighborhood context. It does not create accounts, sell personal information, show ads, or intentionally collect analytics.
Map and neighborhood context comes from OpenStreetMap through Overpass. OpenStreetMap data is available under the Open Database License.
