Well, what do I do in that instance? It would be good for helping me actually get to work. get dropped off at my stop and heplp me track where the bus is going when the bus gps doesn't even work. I don't need it for the job perse, but would like to get there and know where I am and not have the anxieety of the driver not hearing me or not responding that he heard or forgetting because he just chose to not call out the stops or even my stop. I've also had this happen in cabs where I've been dropped off inthe wrong placre once even in the middle of a construction site. In this case, do I need to just get gps on my own? And if that is the case, are there any organizations who offer grants or loans for technology purposes like that. The funny thing is, a friend of mine works for the state and they bought her gps and an m-power and now she's forbidden to use the stuff in the field because they think it isn't secure enough. I don't get it. Well, if anyone can point me in some directions to check out help with funding or give me ideas of what other people have done that would be great. thanks ----- Original Message ----- From: "JD Townsend" <1587@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Hi:The trick is to link your need for the GPS system to employment. If you can identify that travel to new places is a part of the job and that GPS would make you better on the job, you will have an excellent argument. If it would help you to get to work and help with shopping, it will not be a good enough argument.Best of luck. JD Townsend Helping the light dependent to see.

As i've said here before, the state I live in just got me abrand newbraille.note m-power but even though I've giventhe justiificationas to whyI feel gps would be benificial and important, I don't think theyare goingto get it, and in fact I can't even get a response to my e-mailson thetopic. I don't know if the counselor has just been gone forseveral days orwhat, But I wondered what others did to afford the gups which Ican'toutright right now or I wouldn't worry about it. Are thereplaces who helpwith grands or technology loans or anything I can try other thanmy staterehab system?
