Thanks for that.  Just as well to know what one is buying.

Cheers!

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.
