Kevin; Is there any chance they might be able to put the subway lines and bus routs on Way To Go? They would be very helpful since the blind can not read the schedules or the maps. I am in Maryland and it would be great to be able to learn the busses in my new area. What is the difference between using the maps on an m-power and using them with GPS? I never understood how GPS worked. Would the maps come on a card and you would insert them when you wanted to use them? Has a cost been set? Thanks for any imfo or explination.

Yes, it is possible to create directions for pedestrian or vehicular uses. If you have the GPS product, it is possible to have the information update as you progress through the route, get information about how much further in terms of minutes or miles, you could also get the current speed, heading, and much more. With the, "Way To Go" product offering a maps only version, there is a cool feature that allows you to take the route information and with a few simple keystrokes have the route in a text form allowing for one to emboss/print the route directions complete with turn, total route distance, and other such information, this allows for one to take the hard-copy and leave the BrailleNote at home. The "Way To Go" is running at about half the price of the GPS product and offers everything plus more, it isn't possible to get live-time information however. These are just some of the features that may apply to vehicular travel.

On the subject of GPS, can anyone tell me whether the system offered as an optional extra to the BN can be used effectively in a car? I have a sighted driving wife and don't want us to shell out on a system for the car, which we'd might also use for foreign travel, if I could make the BN do the same job. Any opinions greatly appreciated. ----- Original Message ----- From: Kevin <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Chao To: 'Braillenote List' <mailto:[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, October 24, 2007 8:16 PM Subject: [Braillenote] FW: [gps-talkusers] Way To Go is released! -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Michael May Sent: Wednesday, October 24, 2007 11:31 AM To: GPS-talkusers-freelists.org Subject: [gps-talkusers] Way To Go is released!
