Hi Folks,
I just wanted to clarify what some of the items in Robbies mail is about.
GPS is of course the global positioning system that is used in cars etc.
Now it has progressed to being of use to those of us who are blind and need
something to determine our location in cities etc.
The following item that he goes on to mention "Royal tek GPS like
mechanism" is a little device about the size of a match box that you carry
around with you in a pocket or somewhere on your person. This is the little
device that the satellites use to determine your location. It in turns feeds
the positions that the satellites feed it back to another device such as in
our case a mobile phone.
Loadstone is a piece of free software that you can install in your phone in
order for the little matchbox GPS device to communicate with you and inform
you of your position on the planet basically.
You can read more about loadstone at the site: www.loadstone.com
You must use one of the phones that works with the talks speech products.
Hope this enlightens some of you.
Paul.
One of the list members ( Thanks Aidan) enlighten me on the Royal tek GPS
like mechanism I'm wondering could some of you who have used this enlighten
me some more on what it is, How it works and how well loadstone (which I
also don't know a hell of a lot about either) works on it?
I recently bought the NokiaE65 which again one of the list members
recommended (Thanks Bert)
Any info much appreciated
robbie
