Mary, Probably a poor choice of words on my part. Let's call dual GPS the ideal way to go but not the only way. There are plenty of situations where people have more than one product, say an iPhone using Audible and a Stream also using Audible. I do agree that it is very unfortunate that high priced specialty technology costs so much and yet the government funding for it is limited. I'll address that in a separate email. The point of my story was to say that the iPhone is not a replacement for a full fledged accessible GPS product with a real keyboard and comprehensive real-time and explore features. For those fortunate enough to have a BrailleNote or Braille Sense with GPS, make the most of it, especially in challenging situations.

How many people who don't get bucks from some agency can realistically think about having 2 gps solutions when one of them costs a whole pile of money, and the remainder of the applications on that expensive platform can be duplicated elsewhere cheaper? Obviously, you can't go from 0 app to full blown solution in 6 months or a year. But I hope the goal for the ios gps solution is to have a full product which will essentially make unnecessary those other entirely too expensive solutions.
