[gps-talkusers] e: Re: problem with address lookup

Hi Carl,
I must admit I also like chord. I am a "died in the wool," Braille n Speak user, and still use it for my job. At least I graduated from the Perkins Brailler!

OK folks I will have to concede that we should no longer use the
generic
terms like escape and cord ect. I will forward that in future
releases that
we should provide the keystrokes for the keyboard type in use
when asking
for a keyboard response. We have tried to be very specific about
this in
the help functions and the user guides.

Please let me know if you find any errors in this area and any
other
improvements that will assist our users.

Thanks all for your input.


PS I still like "cord" and will not give up.

Folks,

I believe that, in keeping with BN jargon, it would be helpful to
say that
key stroke as known, space with E, and not escape. Once we start 
mixing and

matching and muddying waters, down will go standards. (One key
stroke
wrongly described becomes the next . . ..) I know Carl wouldn't
want this
to be the case as Sendero want to keep high standards. <Smile

Well, that's what I think.

As for time and effort in fixing it . . . I don't have a clue 
about that, so

in the end, I guess Sendero must judge.

Hi Carl,

I think just a note in the manual that explains the space with
e=escape
key
would be handy, because honestly, I had no idea what it meant,
myself, and
I've been a Braile Keyboard users from the beginning--of my use
with such
devices. I only really remember this issue cropping up once or
twice, and
as I recall, I had to perform a reset to exit the program and
fix the
problem--but I don't remember the circumstances surrounding
it--and I was
just learning, so I probably just figured I had no clue.

Sarah

Sarai,

I will admit if this is directed to the escape key it would not
be correct
for the BT keyboard. Many Braille keyboard users refer to the
cord E
command as escape, as other keyboard commands like the cord dot
4 and cord
dot 1 as up and down keys.

These terms have been derived from many Braille users and I
question if
there should be a change. I will keep an open mind about this
subject. I
would like to hear from our users if this wording change would
be of use 
or
justify the time and expense required to make the change.

Another problem, on the BT units, is when you abort a look up,
or can't
find
what your looking for; you receive the message saying press
escape to use
the nearest address. That's a QT command.

Phil,
I have reproduced this error and I have found two issues with
this address
lookup. I think you were looking for the Holiday Inn zip code
29223 at that address. When I place my virtual position to the
HOLIDAY Inn
at that address, I check the city and find it is in the city of
Dentsville.
The address of the POI states the city is Columbia. This
appears to be a
map issue. I do not suspect a Keysoft 7.2 issue or a Version 
3.5 issue.

The address lookup aborted message issue does appear to be a
problem in 
the
Sendero GPS program.  I will be following up on this tomorrow.

Thank you for bringing this problem to my attention and we will
be back to
as soon as I have additional information.

Phil,

I just tried what you outlined below, with the same results. I
am not sure
as to why this is happening, but I can say that the address
lookup
function
has worked for me in the past flawlessly. The only thing that I
can say
is
that it is excellent that you have found a work-around by using
the POI
lookup, this is the route that I would also go if I were you.
It is a very
nice thing that there exist such a thing as multiple-modes of 
looking up

information. Some of the ways including by lat/lon, POI's, and 
address.

Kevin

Hi. I am trying to use address lookup. I have an MPower bt
running
keysoft 

7.2 and gps v3.5.
I press s-chord, select the state:  south carolina.
I enter the city:  columbia
I enter the street name:  two notch rd
I then try to enter an address: 7510
i immediately get a message,   address lookup aborted.


the address does exist, i can just use f-chord
and find the particular hotel manually, and set it as my virtual
address.

but, why doesn't address lookup work?
I have tried other known addresses and it doesn't seem to work.
I
usually have to just let it find cross streets and then use
lookup 
around mode to find the location before setting it as my virtual
position.
