Mary Ellen,
The first day I had GPS I spent half the night looking around my old
neighborhood using virtual mode. I also looked around my current
neighborhood. When I first moved into this neighborhood ten years ago, my
O&M instructor made a detailed Braille map which listed all of the
businesses in the area at the time. When I compare the Braille map to the
information provided by BrailleNote GPS, I'm amazed at much things have
changed!

I actually was stopped by a lady who was looking for one of the little tiny
lanes which makes our village such an intriguing place in which to live.
The poor woman was nearly in tears because she had cruised up and down the
entire village looking at all the side streets of course, to no avail. I
told her exactly where the street was and as she pulled away I heard the
child in the car with her saying, "Hay mom, did you see that lady's guide
dog? It was sure curly!"
I laughed to myself and went my merry way until running into a friend, to
whom I related my experience. He had been a teacher of mine in elementary
school and he simply said, "Well, you know where every street in this
village is."
Oh I had fun the other day. I called up an address where I spent 20 years of
my life from early teens until my parents moved into a retirement home. I
had the gps find me a route to a nearby restaurant which had been the corner
drug store when I lived there and I could still walk that route in my sleep
but it was tremendous fun seeing the gps's take on things.
