That could very well be, I really don't know. Anyway I have another use for
the gps.
Say you or your significant other get transfered to another city. You can
actively house hunt in that city by putting the map of that area on
yourBraille Note then picking a street from that town and check out the
points of interest. If there seems to be an abundance of motels you can
figure you are near a lot of highways or limited accesses or you can press
chord C. to get that information.
You can at least have an idea of where you would like to look when you do
your online search for houses for sale.
I explored a couple of cities in Arizona. I have never been to that state
but would some day like to visit it. So I am looking at where I would like
to go before I even make a plane reservation.
What fun!
