Thank you, Michael, for your prompt answers to my questions. I really appreciate it!
Another question for you! Are there single keystroke commands for the QT keyboard for finding out information while walking so that I wouldn't have to stop to do those commands? For instance, a command for where am i, or what the upcoming street name is?

QUESTIONS
Diane,
I have answered your questions below.
1. Those of you who use dog guides, how do you wear
your BrailleNote while working your dog?
* Wear the BN like a purse with one arm through thestrap. With the dog on your left, the BN would be on your right hip where you can move it to the center or swing it to the side.
2. what do people recommend for protecting the
BrailleNote from the weather?
* If you want to shield the display a bit, have twoVelcro straps constructed so the lid of the case can be held open at 45 degrees. This keeps your hands warmer and might deflect any debree which could brush you. A plastic grocery bag works great if you have to cover the unit in light rain but head for cover as soon as possible or zip the unit within a jacket.
3. What type of card does the maps come on?
* The standard card is a 1 GB compact flash card.
Larger cards are available.
Magnolia, Texas, and not have to use separate maps to do this?4. Can I plan a route from Tulsa, Oklahoma, to
* You can calculate a route across the U.S. if yourcard is large enough. The 1 GB card will hold about one fith of the country so you just need to have the appropriate states on the same card and in the same map folder.
5. What is the cost of upgrades after the initial
purchase price?
* Upgrades have averaged about $100 per year.
6. How often do the maps get upgraded?
* The maps have been upgraded every 12 to 18 months.
