Think we may need to talk about this some more, John. I know you have a chess tournament some time soon, probably this week, so I'll try to give you a call next week, or maybe the week after ...

hi carol you can use your iphone as a wirellesssdevice that means going in to settings and putting on hotspot then you connect the sense to the iphone and i think really for satnav if you have the sendero on the sense that's the rolls royce of the lot you still must use the external gps receiver though. and as you said blind square is very good indeed.----- Original Message ----- From: ,c;arol.,p;earson29@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx <carol.pearson29@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Monday, 23 March 2015 4.18 pm Subject: [access-uk] Re: rnib navigatorSo how can you use this Google Maps app outside then?
