[gps-talkusers] Re: Test-Hike and Data Extraction Question

Hi Mike,
What kind of GPS locating software are you using with JAWS, since you can't use the markers? I am totally blind, and I want to use my laptop, or a hand held GPS type program. I am also a JAWS user, and would like to load Microsoft Streets and Trips, with a GPS receiver. Do you have any idea, if JAWS will read the information it would take for me to load my trip? 
Thanks.

Subject: [gps-talkusers] Test-Hike and Data Extraction Question
As some of you might know, I tested some data for the Appalachian Trail last week. It generally went well.
Data from the Appalachian Trail Conference were as good as I could expect (within nineteen meters at worst and sometimes better than that). Some non-critical data from Map Tec were off by up to five hundred meters. These data were for things like locations of stores where resupply might be possible. Stores are in populated areas. Asking directions is an option if I cannot clean up these data.
Does anybody know how to or know of a service that can extract Map Tec data? The program I got data from is called terrain navigator. It requires the user to place a marker on points of interest to get data. That is a largely visual process. I am totally blind. I use JAWS. JAWS will not allow marker placement.
I might be able to get better results if I had someone who knew what they were doing extract data from Map Tec files. 

Thank You,


Mike Hanson
