[gps-talkusers] Working for assistive tech companies was Re: Re: uses of GPS.

It must be cool working for a company like a GW or Sendero or FS. I mean it's interesting moving OC192 circuits, establishing peers and deploying backbone links but some how building a faster Internet so folks can download more porn seems less rewarding than developing tools that actually help people.;) I must admit that using Mobile speak and reading this list among other things have totally resparked my interest in adaptive technology.

I've done something similar. Here at GW Micro, we are located in the Office Park which is literally a collection of office buildings. While I was doing some testing with SenseNav last year, before official release, I mistakenly found a Kirby store here in the Office Park. Turned out that we were in need for our Kirby vacuum to be serviced, and we needed some supplies as well. So, since then, I have used SenseNav as a phone book of sorts. Of course, it does depend on up-to-date data. In fact, there are times when I look for something and if it's not there, I get the info from the Internet or 411 and then add it to my POI list for future reference.

One of the most hand uses of the Sendero GPS, is a business yellow pages. When I needed a basement repair company, I just searched for basement and found three businesses with in ten miles. I was then able to call each of them and get estimates and information. Try that from directory assistance.
