Hi braillenoters
I understand there is a program that could help a blind traveler to move
around, using braillenote, gps technique and city maps.
If so what kind of equipment exactly is needed?
Do you need a mobile phone?
I have a nokia 6600.
cheers

Yes, but you can't use it in the PK and eventually, you might prefer that
to that huge thing you guys lug around. I hardly want to lug my bn
anymore.

what's the difference between a compact flash card and a microdrive?

Putting your maps on a microdrive is fine. In fact, if you want maps
for
several states, this really is the way to go unless you have a compact
flash card that
is rather large.
It's recommended that you put all the files for each state in a
directory
as it can get a bit complicated to figure out just which ones you need
for
a given
section of a state.
The files for each state take several hundred megs of space which is
why
you need either a large-capacity flash card or a microdrive.
When you load the maps, it's best to use a directory structure similar
to
that used on the cd the maps came on, unless you want several states in
a
single
directory so they can always be loaded.
It's recommended though that you keep the number of states loaded int
the
bn at one time to a minimum as loading several sets of maps at once can
slow
down the braillenote.

hi all
would installing the gps maps on my microdrive be sufficient, or is a
flash card required?
also, if i put the maps onto the storage card into a folder, which
files
do i need from each directory, all of them?
