Hi Joseph and everyone. I managed to reinstall the dictionary back into my apex. I still don't know what I'll do about the GPS. The navigation menu just disappeared which makes no sense. I'm not to worried about the GPS though because I don't really use it. But my teacher is concerned because they got the GPS so that other sstudents could use it too. It's the school's braillenote, so I'm glad it's not mine. So many issues we're dealing here with. I hope HW is working on these problems.
