[gps-talkusers] Re: Gps Scottsdale and me:

GPS talk was the original GPS for the blind.  Mike may created it.  It is a 
system that runs in a lap top computer.  You use an external receiver, and 
an external key pad to control the system. You could put the whole country 
into the computer, so you could travel anywhere in the country and have 
coverage.
