Hi all,

Using a windows 10 desktop, running windows 10, 1803, and Jaws 2018, the 
April update, NVDA, and Narrator.

Any of you using google maps successfully with any of the 3 screen readers?

I can go to

www.google.com

and in the search box, I can type my address, then click on search 
button, and the first result is a map, but then, there is a link that 
says directions, and then I can click on directions, but then, when the 
page loads, I'm completely lost, because none of the 3 screen readers 
handle this well.

It only says some of the things and not everything, and there is an edit 
box, and a whole bunch of other things.

The reason I'm even trying to use google maps in the first place is, a 
friend came to my apartment building yesterday from out of town, using 
Google maps, and I thought I was going to have to give him help getting 
here, and he didn't need my help at all, which is fantastic, and when I 
asked him how did you get here, he just told me, I used my gps, using 
google maps, and it guided me right to your building!

So, I'm looking forward to whatever you all can tell me, and if you have 
used google maps successfully with any of the 3 screen readers, how do 
you use it? Or, if there is a tutorial out there on using google maps 
with a screen reader, let me know.

Harry
