I guess I'm missing something here. If this is a PC based system, how
can it be used when you are mobile?

Subject: [EXTERNAL] Remind Me Where 1.2 is released

Hi All,

 

This release has added features for mobile users (GPS or the mobile wifi
user), and the public transit system user.

 

.          Added a hotkey to speak your current location (for mobile
users,
control-alt-f11). Also recently added a hotkey to speak info about the
current GPS fix (control-alt-f12).

(your location is spoken as the nearest street address; it does require
an internet connection).

 

.           Added options to the Get Directions dialog for the Transit
menu:

"Transit Mode Preferences" allows the specification of types of public
transit to be used (bus, subway, train, or tram.)  Using this option
allows you for instance to eliminate routing which would have you on a
bus for part of it (if you don't like bus transit).

  "Transit Routing Preferences" allows specifying of preferences for
"less walking" and "fewer transfers" to trade off against the best
possible route.
May be helpful for blind riders where transfers can be a problem.

 

.         Fixed an issue where RMW was causing the GPS app to search for
a
GPS receiver, even when "Use the GPS App for Default Location" was not
enabled in the options dialog menu.

        This also comes with an updated GPS app which fixes a problem
which could cause an error when updating or upgrading (anything which
used excessive CPU during the Window-Eyes startup).

It also has an  improved GPS position calculation algorithm, for those
using a GPS receiver.

 

 

Enjoy, and please do write me to say you're using it, or not using it,
and why.  I like writing it, but I might as well try and make it do what
you may need it to.

 

Thanks,

 

Chip
