Hi Chip: What are you working on using gps?
Are you using maps like google maps or the microsoft maps as well?
I watched the podcast mentioned and was impressed with how far the
technology has come but it could be better but just how complicated is
programming using maps, walking directions, cumpus and all that jaz?
I played with driving directions using google maps and microsoft maps a
few years ago and it wasnt too bad but not dynamic like providing
directions while walking along a path.
I just entered a to and from address and pulled down the data from the
api for google and microsoft maps so it was a static route based on 2
predetermined end points.

Sendero is the most well-known supplier of navigation apps for the blind.

I believe they have apps for both I-phones and Android phones, as well as a
long list of specialized devices for the blind, and they have something for
Windows pcs (although I seem to recall it's not a true navigational aid, but
more like what I'm trying to do with a way to explore areas).
There is also the stand-alone device whose name was something like the
Trekker (or Trekker breeze), as a competator to Sendero.
Hth,
Chip
