Hello, Sarai,
I can visualize a fairly simple way to have a blind person know at all times
where he was inside a building. However, it would not be GPS. You would
have to call it IBPS. In government buildings, it would certainly be a good
way to keep track of all visitors. As far as sighted people getting lost
inside buildings or not able to find a particular office, most of them pay
little attention to where they are or which way they are going. They think
they can just glance around and know instantly where they are. It works
that way........sometimes.

I read that. I also am pretty sure some of those satellites can look in to buildings. I think that's how they killed that Taliban leader in Afghanistan. Anyway, it would be nice to have that type of technology in our GPS so we can get around buildings. We have one Dr's office that I always joke TSE can use it to train their dogs because even sighted people get lost.
