Hello list!
I have a notebook and desktop, both running vista; is there any kind of GPS
software, fully featured with maps and other direction-giving programs, out
there that can be used with screenreaders. For example, if I had my notebook
in the car with me and had even a mobile GPS unit running, is there software
that could be used in the same way as the GW Micro, Humanware, and other units
do>? I mean and have it talk. Sort of like the TomTom adapted for the blind.
I want a fully-operational GPS program on my notebook with all kinds of
features (Trekker-like features). I really don't want to spend thousands of
dollars for the software and I don't need it to walk around with, but I do want
it to have it all (satellite connection and the like, plus directional info,
and landmarks, and everything else) I want to get a gps system off the store
shelf and put adapted software on my pc to use it.
