[gps-talkusers] Hi-tech help points way for the blind

  Hi-tech help points way for the blind
  Scotsman.com (Edinburgh, Scotland)
  A GROUP of blind people were today trying out a
  hi-tech satellite system to guide them round the
  Capital.
  The system, developed with GPS technology used by
  sailors and hillwalkers, provides Braille and voice
  messages telling users
  where they are.
  The group of American and Dutch visitors were start
  their visit at the Scottish Parliament at Holyrood.
  Leading the party was Mike May, 46, who developed
  the system. He said: "When you can get around
  independently, the number one
  limiting aspect of blindness is minimised."
  "That's why some blind colleagues and I developed
  this technology and enjoy sharing it with others."
  Mr May and his colleagues planned to use the
  equipment, produced by Sendero Group running on a
  BrailleNote personal data
  assistant, to find their way to museums, historic
  buildings and pubs.
