[gps-talkusers] Re: announcing equipment donation at the Stevie Wonder concert

Your nokia 6682 should work.  I have the same phone and it works just fine.  
You need a blue tooth receiver.  Those are fairly inexpensive if I remember 
correctly.  You might be more likely to get a rehabilitation agency or local 
fraternal organization to pay for a blue tooth receiver in my opinion.  

Setup is not difficult.  You need to connect or pair your phone with the 
receiver.  You might need sighted assistance to do that.  If I were you, I'd 
have the sales rep where you buy the receiver help and put it down to customer 
service if you decide to get one to use with your phone..  

If you want more information, go to http://www.loadstone-gps.com.  The database 
contains street intersections and similar data.  It does not contain many 
addresses to the best of my knowledge.  One drawback of this program is its 
somewhat limited amount of data.  One advantage of this program is the fact 
that it uses public domain data.  There are quite a few websites where you can 
get points of interest.  Conversion to a format Loadstone uses is not difficult.

You need to create your own routes and figure out which directions to turn.  I 
am not sure if you need to do that with Sendero's system.      

Have you used your phone for notetaking and similar functions?  If so, how does 
it work for that?

  Do you have a Simbion 60 operating system cell phone?  If so, I know of a 
free GPS program you might be able to download.

    My name is Elray Smith I have a Guide Dog from San Raphael CA and the 
Braille Note BT , here's the deal I am very grateful for my equipment ever so 
grateful, however, I do not have a GPS which is a very important piece of 
equipment for the blind as you are aware but I can not afford one with my 
income. So, can you suggest or shine any light on my situation? I really am 
very mobile.

    Warm Regards

      Sendero Group, HumanWare and Kurzweil/NFB donate adaptive technology for 
the Stevie Wonder 11th annual House Full of Toys Benefit Concert

      This past Saturday evening, December 16, 2006, Mike May had the pleasure 
of joining Stevie Wonder on the stage of the Gibson Amphitheater in Los 
Angeles, along with 15 stars, to present a GPS from Sendero Group, a 
BrailleNote from HumanWare and two KNFB readers from Kurzweil and the National 
Federation of the Blind. Three students were selected to receive these devices. 
Stevie and Mike acknowledged the tremendous value of these tools in their own 
lives and announced that they hoped this was only the beginning of their 
efforts to bring the reading and navigation independence of this technology to 
more blind people.

      Mike said, "When Stevie invited me to his party, I asked what I could 
bring. With one email to Ray Kurzweil and another to HumanWare, I had arranged 
for a generous donation of $13,000 of access technology in support of Stevie's 
effort to bring joy and independence to under privileged youth. I was joined by 
Dirk Marais of HumanWare at the concert to hear a line-up of incredible 
performers. After leaving the stage in front of 6000 people, Stevie was kind 
enough to keep me by his side and to boast about the technology to his friends 
and family. This benefit certainly embodied the title of his most recent album, 
A Time to Love." For photos and audio go to

      Special guest artists included Al Jarreau, Brian McKnight, COMMON, 
Tyrese, Corinne Bailey Rae, India Arie, Danny Carreras, Donald Lawrence, Gary 
Taylor, Yolanda Adams, Chris Tucker and more.
      Past performers have included Alicia Keyes, Angie Stone, Babyface, Doug 
E. Fresh, George Duke, Arie, Jamie Foxx, Jill Scott, Jonathan Butler, Joss 
Stone, Kanye West, Karen Clark Sheard and Kierra "Kiki" Sheard, Kem, Kim 
Burrell, L.D. Miller, Luther Vandross, Macy Gray, Maroon 5, Michael McDonald, 
Natalie Cole, Nelly, Raphael Saadiq, Raul Midon, Ruben Studdard and Ziggy 
Marley-along with dozens of others. 
      This was the 11th year that Stevie's House Full of Toys Benefit Concert 
has been one of the highlights of the holiday musical season. In the past ten 
years, hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of toys, computers, games and 
educational aids have gone to children, families and organizations in need.
      Stevie Wonder and his friends are committed to a celebration that will 
let the world know that they care. 
      For several years, Stevie Wonder's We Are You Foundation has made a 
generous Christmas donation to the Junior Blind of America. As in the past, 
Stevie attended the Junior Blind annual Holiday Festival, personally bringing 
Holiday cheer to the children and their families. Information about the 
organization is available at www.juniorblind.org. 
      Stevie Wonder's House Full of Toys Benefit Concert-goers are asked to 
bring an unwrapped gift of joy to the concert. Stevie Wonder's
      11th Annual House Full of Toys Benefit Concert is a Wonder Productions 
and Hammond Entertainment event. For further information, go to 
      www.housefulloftoys.org
