Hi List: Regarding my gps receiver, I needed to pair it up with my note taker and the gps program and gps receiver worked fine. Today, I created a route to walk from my home to a local store and activated my gps. I uused my cane safely and was able to read my Braille display while I was walking a block and knew the particular intersection I was approaching and the right directional change to make at the exact pointin the route. I managed to use a landmark tolocate the music store and made a few purchases music. I then was able to travel back from the store to my house with my cane and gps and knew to make the correct directional change and what intersection I was approaching. I feel so liberated. I cannot wait to go on more trips walking in my neighborhood. Thanks for everyone's help on this list to assistance in achieving this fabulous milestone.

I was so impressed that when selecting the city of troy and then selecting from the pois hotel/accommodations that upon entering the address of the conference and selecting the subcategoryunder hotel/accomodations under the subscategoryof "Hottel" that I found a hotel with one block walking distance from the conference and was able to call the hotel and make reservations. So if I don't post to this list in late August, be aware that I am attending a professional conference. Sara Rooz
