One of the things Sendero has always said is that "Not one size fits all" nor
is one product best for all situations.
The iPhone is wonderful for consuming information but I don't think it is as
productive for writing or sending information. I don't mind reading emails on
my iPhone but I always write emails on my computer or BrailleNote.
So, when it comes to GPS, we want the Seeing Eye GPS product to be easy to use
and full functioning for those who just don't want to carry a notetaker for
whatever reason. We fully expect the BrailleNote and Sense GPS products to
remain as a good solution for both consuming information and especially for
efficiently writing and researching. When it comes to figuring out destinations
and giving driving instructions to a friend or cab driver, I will be using my
PK. In other less time sensitive situations where I am just following a route
and wanting basic LookAround information, the iPhone GPS will be great.

When or if this iPhone app comes out, what will happen to Braille note users of
the product?

It is too early to say much about the Seeing Eye GPS app for the iPhone other
than it is in the works. The intention is that it will have a straight forward
easy to use user interface with turn by turn capabilities. We had a couple user
group sessions at CSUN to get everyone's wish list for an iPhone app.
I have the XGPS Bluetooth arm band GPS receiver for the iPhone. Hard to tell if
it is better than the built in GPS. It is kind of a pain to wear it.

You’re welcome, Dale. I also am interested in this application. I’m hoping
Mike’s presentation will be recorded and accessible to those who are not able
to attend the convention. I’m currently at Carroll Center for the blind as an
instructor for a program dealing with access technology and my supervisor,
Brian Charlson, and I were talking about the seeing eye gps last night… He
attended the focus group at CSun. Hope

Ah thanks Hope,
I just noted reference to it in the news announcement from Sendero but there
wasn't any additional information about it. I will be very interested as I have
never had any particular interest in those note takers nor the extra equipment
to pack around. I really prefer the universal functionality of a notebook
computer but the iPhone pretty well includes most of that now along with a
phone and perhaps soon a fully functional GPS solution. Awesome.
Again thank you Hope.

It’s an application that has not yet been released by Sendero. I believe it’s a
fully functional gps program that will work similar to mobile geo or the sender
gps programs for the note takers.
