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.

Hello All,
Unless Sendero has recently included that in their Seeing Eye app for the
iPhone, the only GPS software that has the function to record a route is the
stand-a-lone soffware for the BrailleNote and Braille Sense products. When
the Sendero app came out for the phone, this was one feature I was hoping
for. I use My Way Lite to set a bread crumb route when I need to create
one. Oh by-the-way, I wish those who think that an app is too pricey, to
think about how much in the past one needed to pay for stand-a-lone devices
that would do the same function that an app can do in the iOS environment.
This is not the first time that this type of conversation has sprung up on
various lists or other media sites. I just want to mention that the
developers who extremely dedicated to creating and supporting those who use
them should be conmended. My hats off to the developers of Blind Square and
MBraille. I use these apps on a daily basis.
Thanks for listening.
Best,
Eileen
