One way to afford the pricy Seeing Eye GPS app is to obtain the Forward credit card from Citibank. When you use the card at restaurants and bookstores, you earn quintuple points. This means that for every dollar you spend at these places, you get credited for five dollars in spending. Citibank

Hi, Lelia. Have you taken a look at blind square. It's significantly cheaper than the Sendero GPS and seems to be pretty good. I've just started working with it, and so far am impressed. There are some excellent podcasts about it. The cost is around $24. HTH. God bless! Paula and Babe

Blind Square is excellent for this. I like Ariadne because it tells you how fast you are going and the direction when the monitoring feature is toggled on. The thing to note here is that different GPS apps do different things well. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com
