> Mike May President of Sendero Group, will offer highlights about the new 
> Seeing Eye GPS app for the iPhone per the information below as well as

> time of this program.
> 
> The Seeing Eye, the pioneer in guide dogs, and Sendero Group, the pioneer in 
> accessible GPS, have teamed up to create The Seeing Eye GPS™. Almost 20 years 
> of user feedback and feature requests are behind the design of all Sendero 
> GPS products. The accessible features in The Seeing Eye GPS™ are only the 
> beginning of what is yet to come as users help in evolving this first fully 
> accessible GPS product for the iPhone. The Seeing Eye GPS™ is a fully 
> accessible turn-by-turn GPS iPhone app with all the normal navigation 
> features plus features unique to blind users.
> 
>  
> 
> Instead of multiple layers of menus, the three important navigation elements 
> are on the lower portion of every screen: Route, POIs and Location.
> 
> At intersections, the street name and your direction of travel are announced.
> 
> Intersections are described (e.g. four-way) with the clock face orientation 
> of the streets.
> 
> There are three choices for POI data (Navteq, Foursquare, and OSM).
> 
> Directions are configured appropriately for Pedestrian and Vehicle routes, 
> including heads-up announcements for approaching turns, turn now, continue 
> straight and upcoming turns.
> 
> If one wanders off the route, it's automatically recalculated and updated 
> turn information is announced.
> 
> Point your phone in a given direction to hear what is nearby with the 
> LookAround Wand.
> 
> Nearby Points of interest and intersections are automatically announced.
