Re: [AI] [Bulk] Re: Khajuraho and konark
what about using the devices with built-in compass. I think they are availlable in market today. If a person is facing north, east is to his right and west is to his left side. If he is facing south, it is other way round. - Original Message - From: Vedprakash vedprakash.sha...@gmail.com To: 'Bhavya shah' bhavya.shah...@gmail.com; 'AccessIndia: a list for discussing accessibility and issuesconcerning the disabled.' accessindia@accessindia.org.in Sent: Saturday, August 22, 2015 4:31 PM Subject: [Bulk] Re: [AI] Khajuraho and konark Not at all.

Re: [AI] [Bulk] Re: Khajuraho and konark
But unless we touch the compass needle, how shall we know as to which way does the needle points to. I cannot find any other alternative to it. In the morning I can feel the sun on my face and can tell that I am facing the sun and hence standing towards the east. But unless I touch the needle of the compass, how can I tell as to which direction the needle indicates.
