That's pretty cool Josh. Wish I had the time to tinker like that. Seems the more technology is progressing, the more options people with disabilities have. I hope that the disability market will start changing with the times as well. It's nice to have options, isn't it?
I used my sendero this weekend to find two different places and it seems that I'm getting used to how it presents its locations. I was dead on both times. I'm still tinkering with how to carry my PK in my fanny pack while having none of the keys bumped. I found a tin candy container which fits nicely around the speaker and it holds the fanny pack material away from the keyboard. Seems to be working fairly well. I do find it a tadd annoying for the system to repeat that the keyboard is locked every time a key is pressed. It would be nice to be able to silence that warning completely. Cheers,

Hi,Some things worth noting about loadstone... first. by obtaining and using tools from www.rmpro-hosting.com/ls/ <http://www.rmpro-hosting.com/ls/> www.loadstone-gps.pl/groute <http://www.loadstone-gps.pl/groute> along with a database importer and command line open street maps converter for loadstone that run on a windows pc or windows virtual machine under apple, it is possible for loadstone to be almost every bit as powerful as braillenote gps by sendero minus a few tiny details. Example, I can use groute to plan a walking route from my house to a restaurant in my city and back before I leave. put the routes into my phone, then have the rooutes available to me when I want to load them up and use them. groute also gives me all the points of interest sendero does. the way I do it is, routes go in checkpoints files..I use them with the street map databases to get directions to where I want to go. I have a separate database or two for points of interest. So if I want to know about points of interest like restaurants and stuff I just load the points of interest database and do an area view search to have a look around while in navigation mode. In edition, loadstone also has an exploration mode. I've also been able to cut corners with price on phones etcetera and managed to set up my loadstone system for about $270 or so. I personally am very happy with it using my holux m1000 bluetooth gps receiver.
