Hello George,
That's a fascinating article. Yet again; though, it would appear that the
accessibility for visually impaired customers has been forgotten. The location
details are sent to your PC in the form of a map? or an SMS to your mobile
phone?
Isn't it a great shame that apparently; possibly because of an oversight we're
denied the independent service of this people finder? Obviously if you're lucky
to have mobile accessibility then the problem doesn't arise, but what would be
the difficulty in adding the SMS text to the location map sent to your PC?

Subject: [access-uk] Find your Child?
Don't be put off by the Subject line. The bi-line was "Locate someone with
their mobile phone".
And especially after recent very sad events in Cambridge, it caught my
attention.
The latest "Windows XP: The official Magazine" (Page 48) carries an article
about software which allows you to find the approximate location of a mobile
phone. The cover disk carries a demo version of the software. More details at
www.findyourchild.net
However, I was especially interested in seeing the comment, "You don't have
to use a computer to locate a phone - you can do it from your mobile."
With an accuracy of up to 150 Metres, it's not a GPS substitute. However, I
thought it worth a mention here anyway, especially since there's an option to
use it with your own mobile phone, as well as a PC.
George Bell.
