Well – said. I like to use commercially available apps when possible. I do think that one area where blindness related development makes a lot of sense is in the realm of GPS applications. It's just something that's needed. This isn't to bash programs like Apple maps or Google maps. They are fine programs. I do think we have a tendency to talk to much about the price we talk about GPS applications. While that is a factor, there are other factors to be considered as I mentioned the other day. Typically, with commercially available apps, there isn't much help available. With blindness – related apps, you get help which a lot of people need to be successful in using GPS. Sent from my iPhone
