Let's not get carried away in the contentious issues like this. there are people who assume that the rules are to be broken only. but there are also the people who wish to abide by the rules. two wrongs do not make one right. if other yahoo groups break the rules, why should we follow them? there are the means to get the required results without breaking the rules. if the alternatives are available, why the rules should be broken purposelessly? we should not defy the laws unless there are no other alternatives. hope it solves most of the queries. ----- Original Message ----- From: Pranav Lal To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, January 05, 2009 6:30 AM Subject: [AI] a way finder access experience on a trip to Jaipurr
Hi all, I recently made a quick business trip to Jaipur. I travelled by road. I was in a taxi with a sighted colleague who was using Google maps. I was using way finder access. As luck would have it, our taxi driver did not know a thing about the inside of Jaipur.. Don't ask me why he was assigned to drive us. I was astonished at the number of petrol pumps on the Delhi Jaipur Highway namely national highway 8. Also, several small eating establishments were marked on way finder access. Once inside Jaipur, I was able to navigate directly to the building where I was lodged. This navigation was flawless and, we did not need to ask anyone. There were portions on the highway when no information was reported in the vicinity views. My sighted colleague verified that there was actually nothing around us at that point. however, if you plot a route to Jaipur or anywhere else, the around you view keeps giving you instructions on what to do even in such situations. Also, be warned, that there are a few patches on the highway where you may lose phone signal. This happens for a few seconds but it is enough to trigger way finder access to warn you about this.
