[gps-talkusers] e: Re: GPS with PDA

Hi Dinesh
I used Sendero's gps v1 when we didn't have maps here in the uk I work as a piano tuner and found even without maps it is very helpful to leave points of interest at places like road junctions, bus stops, you might use a point of interest to name a road a line of points along that road helps you to re-locate that road another time, the user poi system was very helpful of course having maps is wonderful and makes things so much easier but, careful setting of user pois can give us as totally blind people a lot of help and independence.

no it is also not available, but I thought if
something like points of
interest facility is there, I could create some
useful POI for my area.
Although I am not sure how far we can go with 
points of intrestes alone.

does any of GPS softwares use google maps? or can
it be of any use to link
GPS software with Google maps?

dinesh,

If Wayfinder is available in your area, that is
your best bet. It is about
50% accessible and the price is right.

Hi all,

I have checked on the website, but can not find a
way to use Sendero with
off the shelf PDAs.

There are other softwares as well, like wayfinder
and tomtom, but I am not
sure if they are as good as sendero, or at least
they are accessible for
blind persons.

Want to try them for my area, i.e. India, and
just for trial buying
braille note does not seem to be a good idea.

Also as per indian standard braille note might be 
too expensive.

Searched for other options like garment GPS
system, but it rather seem to
be for cars.

Is there any thing which might work for this 
region?


Regards
Dinesh
