Hmm!
Sounds interesting, particularly as I'm struggling with new routes in
Reading and the demo went almost past our door! <Smiles>
There was no mention as to whether this would ever be available to the
general everyday, hard pressed GDO and other blind folk trying to get
around! Has anyone heard anything about the cost or whether it will be
released for any users in an everyday situation?

Hi Barry
Yes, I heard a piece on Radio Ulster about this over breakfast this
morning.
What they didn't mention was the cost involved, both to GDBA in partnering
it, and the user. It sounded interesting though I have to say.
Kind regards,
Jackie Brown

It's a shame it only works with the Windows mobile, but this looks pretty
good otherwise.
A headset that guides visually impaired people around cities has been
developed by Microsoft and charity Guide Dogs.
