Aaron, although I don't own an iphone but have a note taker with a gps program, I agree that the gps program on a note taker is superior in getting walking direcctions to a destination than relying on an iphone for this information. A blind consumer explained to me that an iphonew gps is currently great for vehicular directions but cannot be used for walking directions and any gps product for the blind is extremely helpful for getting walking directions. It's true that note taker with a gps program is expensive but the features that the gps program offers on a note taker to get directions when in a vehicle and particularly when walking is so liberating. In addition, I find using the points of interest feature liberating since I can find an address and pphone number of a particular establishment. Due to a family emergency, I used the point of interest to find a hospital to be with my parent and was able to get the address of the hospital and phhone number and subsequently contacted thehospital directly that I would be visiting my parent. I was also able to get vehicle directions to the hospital. I have also used my gps to walk around my neigbborhoood and find it liberating to know the direction I am walking in and the upcomoing intersection as well as l the correct directional change I need to make when following a route. I find my main limitation is with orienting myself when I need to make a directional change and I have found that my gps has been of tremendous benefit. Sara Rooz I do respect those who wish to use the iphone and those who use a stand alone gps device as well usersof note takers with gps. It's a personal choice. Sendero myust be commended for giving blind people gps in so many different forms. Sara Rooz
