Oh heavens no, my gps's name is Firestone because it is where my rubber soles meet the road. Charles is the programmer who works for Mike May who is the brains behind this wonderful product and for some reason I got all the answers to this message first and absolutely no, I am not the least bit offended by that question.

I love it! You have a name for your sendero... You call it Charles? Just curious do most blind gals have male names for their devices and guys have female names for their's? {grin} :)----- Original Message ----- From: "Mary Ellen Earls" <meearls@xxxxxxx>To: <gps-talkusers@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, October 12, 2007 11:44 Subject: [gps-talkusers] My trip yesterday: Hi! I had some business to take care of quite a distance from my home,yesterday, and had an unusually pleasant driver. He had a gps but he wantedto know all about the Sendero one and I turned it on because I had made a route to this place I'd say a year ago. The accuracy was much better in version 4 and as we traveled, our notes between his gps and mine were identical.He asked all sorts of questions about my unit, and when I offered to turnedthe speech off he said "leave it on, I want to hear that little man!"But what was so cool was that I had other stops after my business was taken care of, and since this was a charter, they charged per mile and I was ableto accurately tell the driver before he finished figuring out the cost the mileage we had traveled for his log. Well needless to say he was extremely impressed and it goes without saying how impressed I was as well. So again, well done, Charles! Mary Ellen Earls
