Hello Blake:
The GPS system is incredible but does take a bit of
work to use.
With it you can walk or ride anywhere and absolutely
know exactly where you are. Often blind folk have
been able to direct auto drivers to their
destination. I like being able to locate stores and
homes. These items would require the purchase of a
GPS receiver - a small and not expensive item.
Without the receiver you can tour almost any
location using the maps that Sendero Group will
provide for you for free. Right in the comfort of
your easy chair.
You must go to the Sendero site to get the maps for
your country or state.
As for the IM - I do not use this program, sorry.
