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.

This really is kind of a sad commentary. 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.
