[gps-talkusers] Re: Automatic announcement of intersections

Yes, that's the primary use of the Breeze but it was also made for use in a
motorized vehicle. It is quite impressive how we would think that similar
systems for similar uses would function the same way and provide useful
information. This is a prime example of similar information but one being
more useful over the other due to timing. This is the reason that I am a
user of the Sendero GPS, Sendero Group knows what they're doing when it
comes to GPS technology as they use it out in the field, perform
side-by-side comparisons, are always innovating and they are blind/visually
impaired themselves. This includes everyone from the CEO (Mike May), CTO
(Charles LaPierre) and Customer Service/Technical Support (Chris/Gil).
