Well with the demise of wfa and also trekker pro what does that leave us now
with? Especially when you're now having to rely yet again on note taking
devices and how many people are going to want to carry one around again?

Hi Martin,
I am a member of the Loadstone list and although that product is free it has
achieved quite a lot in recent months. I am not a programmer but surely with
the technology and expertise out there someone could adapt either google or
Nokia maps to work with talks. I am not certain but a friend of mine told me
he uses Nokia maps with mobile speak. Maybe someone can either correct or
concur with that statement.
I have tried Loadstone myself some time ago but haven't tried it recently.
If that program can be created through the hard work and dedication of
volunteers surely someone somewhere could get talks to work with these maps.
That's what logic tells me but I accept it is much more complex than that.
Sorry to say but at the moment the almighty dollar seems to come before
customer care or needs especially when it comes to disability.
Kindest Regards, John

Over the last few days I have noticed lots of talk about GPS apps
for the phones we use, it seems to me that most of what we require
is available in such things as Nokia's maps it's just the access side
that is thin (stating the obvious here - sorry) so with this in mind
would not a way forward be to make formal approach to Nokia stating
how many Talks users there are ant stating the changes/additions
required to the existing maps app to make it useful. Nokia might
consider it worth while developing the accessibility side of things if for
no other reason than
good PR and customer relations. Thoughts anybody?
The main thing here is we do not want to reinvent the wheel - there
are loads of products just so close to what we want.
