Hi Michele, I am speculating here, but I do not believe that any gps system for the blind or otherwise will give you directions by land marks. I don't think that would be possible. GPS WORKS BY PINPOINTING YOUR POSITION WITH SATELITES. originally, as I understand it, this system was developed to be used by the military navigators. When the system began to be used by the public, they some how altered it so that it is not quite as accurate, but it still does not look down on you and actually see where you are. I believe that the system is accovate to within three yards. or meters. uyou've peaked my interest and this is something I'd l to know more about. I don't think that the blind systems do any better than giving you yards to the location, no info about the door or anything, but I could be wrong.
