Hi richard thanks for the post. Very interesting as I use buses and trains to get to my tunings. maybe best to hang on until the end of the year when the earthmate should work much better. I think soon in the portable market with gps things will be happening with regards blind people having more products to use. I understand the symbian phones can be used for gps with the wayfinder program but as I said with the braille note we get the all important brilliant braille access. it seems to me that hear in the uk though we are having a bad deal as regards the map data as it's impossible to create a route with the bn software. with the wayfinder you put in a postcode search and it comes up straight away. keep our ears flapping for the future. all the best oh if you know of a way to tune pianos over the net let me know smile smile smile. grate to hear from you.
